As the result of working on Memorial Day for the last 4 years and only a handful of American Flags being put out at our local cemeteries I have started a program asking for financial support from the community to bring the Avenue of Flags back to its original meaning. As of this date December 28, 200l over $9,000.00 has been raised, 75 new flags purchases, 125 new flag staffs, 1000 flag snaps, 500 flag staff holders and over 100 of the old flags repaired. We will be flying over 460 flags this next Memorial Day which will include a new 5ft by 8ft Medal of Honor Flag being made for our recipient of the Medal of Honor, 5 (five) flags representing the 5 branches of services along with the VFW and American Legion flags. There will be a special flag pole erected for our Medal of Honor Flag with a memorial plate at the bottom siting the name of the individual along with the dates of the action during World War II. We should all pay tribute to those that have served this great country and no longer with us. Let us not forget where we came from.

I was 12 years old when my father, Walter Gene Thompson, was crossed over from a traggic accident, and died on Memorial Day 1969. He was a former Marine and faught in Korea. I,m not sure what the actual date he died is, because I don't know when the celebration of Memorial Day changed to the last monday of May (in Washington State). Did he die on the 30th? or the 26th? in 1969.

I served in the United States Air Force from Oct 1972 until Oct 1976. I never saw any action but was the base I was assigned to was attacked by terrorists. The militaty unit of the sponsoring nation stopped by threat before it got the the weapons depot that I was assgined to. I count my service in the Air FOrce as one of the most important events in my life. I love the freedoms that I enjoy here and it really bothers me when I hear others bad maouting our country.

You've created a remarkable site. I just found your fine site before Memorial Day. Using your ideas about how to observe the day, we went out and purchased three big yellow roses, went to Riverside National Cemetery and put our roses on three grave stones that had no flowers. We said a prayer although much shorter than the one on your site. We have a grandfather who died on the Oryoku Maru in 1944 - a prisoner of war of the Japanese. We want our four year old son to grow up understanding that Memorial Day is more than just another holiday. We will observe the day this way with our new family tradition each and every year from now on. Thank you for such a great site.

Interesting website. I work with the Gaston Museum, Joinerville, Texas - gateway to the East Texas Oil Field. Gaston High School had 334 former students serving in WWII, and many who served in Korea, and Vietnam. Gaston Museum has a Wall of Honor dedicated to the men and women who attended, was employed by, or served the Gaston School ISD at one time. We continually add veterans to our 'Wall.' If you qualify, we would appreciate hearing from you. B. Barton gastonmuseum@mailtexas.com

Memorial Day is very special day as we keep those loved veterans that stood up as Americans in war, close to our hearts and thoughts. For many years I have hoped to talk to someone who actually served with my uncle, Marc Brown, of Long Beach, CA. My brother and I were young when he was killed in VietNam. My grandmother kept his charished belongings until she passed away 10 years ago. This has been a subject my brother and I still have a hard time getting a lot of information on from our father. My uncle was my dad's only brother and to this day it is still hard for my father to talk about. Therefore, the infromation I have about my uncle is very limited. I know he was a Marine and killed in VietNam. Are there any resources my brother and I could turn to and search for someone who knew our uncle. We've missed him so much and wish we had the opportunity to know him better. My memories of him are so few. Memorial Day is not a forgotten holiday. Teri

This site is fantastic!!!!!!! If more people would review this site, then MAYBE, they would really understand the REAL and TRUE meaning of WHO IS REMEMBERED on Memorial Day! For example, in the local paper here, The Mining Journal, there was a THREE PAGE SECTION "devoted to our loved ones " who are no longer with us". At the bottom of the page was a scene of gravemarkers with the American Flag at the headstones. The section did not indicate that the peoplw with photo's in their rememberance were veterans "WHO GAVE THEIR ALL" to our country. The TRUE MEANING of Memorial Day has gone so far to the way side, someting like this ite is really appreciated by me anwyay. Bill Domowicz USAF Retired. (1960-1980)

I happened on this site by accident...coulnd't leave w/out remembering our father..Lawrence A. Kowalczewski...Gunner for the USS ROI..Aircraft carrier..WWII. Dad passed away 3/29/99. He didn't say a lot about his service, but when we saw or heard something and asked, he would tell us his stories. His hand was injured in an attack, but he carried his wedding ring in his wallet. I remember him saying his ship had just left Pearl Harbor before it was bombed. He never said too much about it, though, I think he felt bad that they couldn't have done more. He was always taking care/thinking of everyone else. We were closest when he got sick and he had to let us take care of him! We enjoyed him until he was 83 years old! What I wouldn't give to hear one more story! We have lost friends and relatives to many wars on this earth, let us not lose another. This country is the most free country in the entire world because of the men and women to fought and gave their lives for us! PLEASE...PLEASE...let us not forget them or why we commemorate this day. In loving memory. Lauren & Annette

i looked read this site and that night i could not sleep. i was thinking about the men that had died for me and for all. i wrote a poem and hoped to share it... Know the vibe that is sure to grow,
As we see the death and feel the blow.
The screams grow loud and reach the sky,
As loved ones' spirits are sure to fly.
Past us all for their selfless acts,
Peace for those men, is now intact.
Though they lie in fields of red,
Only now may they rest their heads.
God keep us safe, is what we pray,
And for those who died, our hearts will always stay.

the peom is dedicated to all the KIA, POW, and the MIA. may they all know they are not forgotten.

Perhaps a link explaining how Americans "observe" Memorial Day, as opposed to "celebrate" it. Entire generations are growing up thinking war doesn't exist anymore and don't understand all of the sacrifices made to make their world as safe and happy as it is. It may help restore some of the weight of the holiday upon their virgin shoulders.

I had the distinct honor and pleasure to serve in the Army and am proud to be a veteran. My father served in the Navy in WW II serving exclusively in the Pacific. He joined when he was 38 and had a family who stayed at home and waited his safe return. His brother had joined the Navy in WW I when he was 15 so the two brothers both served their country; one too young and one too old.

TO ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHOM HAVE SERVED FOR THIS COUNTRY A BIG "THANK YOU!". I NEVER HAVE REALLY OBSERVED IT UNTIL LAST YEAR, I TOOK MY THREE DAUGHTERS TO THE VETERANS MEMORIAL BUILDING HERE IN MY TOWN TO HONOR OUR VETERENS. MY FATHER SERVED IN THE KOREAN CONFLICT AND WAS A MEMBER OF THE VFW, SINCE HE DIED IN 1995 GOING TO THE VETS HALL BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES OF MY DAD AND ME AND MY SISTER GROWING UP. SINCE THE THREE OF US ATTENDED MOST OF THE EVENTS FOR FAMILIES. IT WAS A GOOD THING THOUGH AS I WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO MY OLDEST DAUGHTER (6) ABOUT HER GRANDPA JOHN(AS I CRY). WE NOW LOOK THROUGH HIS PICTURES AND SEE ALL THE NAVY MEN IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD AND KNOW THAT THEY DID THIS FOR ALL OF US. ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO ALL VETERENS FROM ALL US WHOM ACTUALLY CAN'T SAY "I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN" IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY TOUGH ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL...

My father was a verteran of the Korean War and although I never served, Memorial Day has always had an important meaning in my life thanks to his teaching. This morning I stood and sang and prayed in church with my oldest son, home for the day from the Air Force, and Memorial Day took on an entirely new meaning. I am thankful for the men and women that have sacrificed so I can sing and pray on Sundays and I am thankful there are still young patriots who voluntarily answer their country's call. Having my son and his friend worship with us this Memorial Day week-end has gave me an entirely new appreciation for the day and the people affected. God Bless and Protect.

The most interesting part for me, was how to observe this day. I never knew that there was a special way to celebrate. We have no way of 'playing' Taps, but we intend to follow the rest of correct way to observe this day. Thanks. Patti

I am the daughter of a WW11 medic that served at Bastogne and Shenogne. Also the widow Of a man the served in VeitNam from 1968- 1969. I remember as a child every year my family would get together and make the rounds of the cemetaries to ut flowers on the graves of the loved ones and flags on those that had been in the service. Now I make that journey with my mother as I have since lost the husband and my father. Now I put flags on their graves aas well as the ones that came before. It is very important the the people of the US remember what these men and boys gave up so that they can live the life they have now. My prayers still go out to all those still missing and unaccounted for in Veit Nam. Please help and pray for these families so that they can know where their son's, father's and husbands are and bring them home. Thank you for this site and letting me be apart of it. In Memory Of my Father Karl L. Little, And My husband, David A. Larcom Deceased.

I was looking for information on Memorial Day that I could share with my second-graders. Today's generation doesn't have a clue about all that has gone before them! My dad served in the Navy in the Phillipines during World War II, and fortunately returned home to live a full and happy life. He and my mother shared much with me (a post-war baby-boomer) about the war years. This is a wonderful website! I learned much about the history of Memorial Day, and found many things that touched me emotionally. I have been fortunate to have been present to observe the changing of the guard, and the presentation of floral tributes at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This website brought back some of those same feelings. Thank you to ALL veterans and their families!

This weekend is the weekend we pay our respects to our veterans. As a veteran myself I say thank you to all those who served their country to make this great country FREE. This freedom was not just handed to us on a silver platter. A lot of young folks lost their lives fighting for something that they cherished so very much, and others take so much for granted, FREEDOM and the right to live in a free country. A very special thank you to all our veterans who willing fought and gave their lives to make the country what it is today. Each and every one of those folks are heroes in my eyes as well as many others eyes. Please take some timeout of your busy weekend to bow your heads and pay tribute to these very special heroes. And please don�t ever forget about our MIA/POW�s. Good bless them all, and may they all rest in peace. -Dc- northtx_harleyman

I am a stud and Recentley our Lanuage Arts teacher asked us what is memorial day. We weren't quite sure. So that day in Language arts we watched a movie of the Veitnam war. It made a big impact on me. I think we shoud honor all dead and living military soldiers because they either fought or trained so that we might live in independance.

My father served honorably in World War II, in the Aleutians when the Japanese attacked. He then served in France and drove on The Famous "Red Ball Express" He was one of the fortunate ones who was able to come home to his family after the War. I have a uncle who served with the 1st Marine Division during The Korean War and return from the Chosin Reservoir honorably. I served honorably for over 20 years in the Army. I served in Desert Storm just prior to my retirement and received the Bronze Star. I was able to return home safely to my family as well. But, now is the time as it should be for us fortunate enough to survive the perils of war as well as those who supported all of us from our Beautiful Country, to take a moment to bow our heads and say a prayer for those whom gave their lives for their country and beliefs. I personally would like to take a moment for a young man whom I went to school with Mark Pontius from Coral, Michigan. Mark was a corporal with the 198th Light Infantry Brigade when he lost his life at age 20. Mark had just gotten married prior to going to Vietnam. Mark arrived in Vietnam on March, 1, 1970 and died on May 31, 1970. I didn't know Mark very well, but each year I reflect back on how this brave young man, just married and barely out of high school laid down his life for Freedom and Justice. And I think of all the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers who have died serving our country, and I pray that they are at rest now serving beside God and his Army. So I say to each one of you if you are not willing to serve your country and put your life on the line for what is right, then you have no business in this country. Honor those who have went before us and those who will go after us. God Bless you all my brothers and sisters.

And a special thanks to the killed in action and their family for preserving that courage to continue to defend our constitutional freedom from external and internal enemies. God Bless you all.

I am thankful for the freedom that we have as Americans. I think we need to support the issue of bill S.189 sent to Congress on 01.19.99 to return Memorial Day to the 30th of May; not the forth Monday of May so that a three day weekend is made. Those that gave their lives deserve to have their day of honor; not all the commercialism that has been put in place of our fallen heroes! Please remember the true meaning of Memorial Day, many lives have been given for us!

Honoring those who died fighting for freedom was one of my fond memories as a child. Our family would take flowers to the cemetary and tend the graves of our family members on Memorial Day each year. Our local Yreka Drum and Bugle Corp. would march and play that day--I believe they marched through the cemetary playing the patriotic songs which would bring a tear to the eye.

Undoubtedly the best site I have found on Memorial Day. I've been the lone member of a committee that has been organizing the Veterans' Day ceremony for five years; but I am doing the Memorial Day celebration this year and I needed some authentic information on the origin of Decoration day --Memorial Day for an article in our local newspaper this coming week. God bless you all for this fabulous site. The information of the two people starting putting on flowers, etc. will be used. I'm a veteran of WWII, 5th Defense Bn. Marine Corps, in the Pacific and stuck around for the Korean Police action, 3/7 1st MARDIV, and finally spent two years in Vietnam, 1967 & 1968. Operations Chief at Dong Ha. Great area, bah, lost three ammo dumps and one fuel dump. I finally retired 1972. Thank you again for the great amount of knowledge on Memorial day. BOB

Does irony never cease? It is approximately 0030 hours, the 32nd anniversary of the night my unit was attacked by 1400 fanatical North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. The 200 men of Husky compound fought bravely, sometimes hand to hand, and stemmed the enemies onslaught. We suffered nearly 80 casualties that night while killing or wounding almost 700 NVA/VC. The 18th of May is always the most difficult day of the year for me and one I always spend tearfully and in reverent retrospection. Tonight I decided to visit your site and am overwhelmed to see that so many young people are interested in the true meaning of Memoria Day. We are apparently safer from Santyanna's quote " those who forget the past are doomed to peat it" than I had suspected. Thankyou so much for what you have done. This soldier feels a bit better.

Hi, In 1999 I laid flowers at the grave of a young U.S. fighter pilot who was KIA in my village in 1945. In the Netherlands I know of schools 'adopting' graves of Allied servicemen, keeping those graves in excellent condition ! Does anybody know of adopting graves in the U.S. by schools ?

Hi. I just wanted to let everyone know about a wonderful new website for veterans by veterans that is launching on May 28, 2001, Memorial Day. VetServer Community (www.vetserver.com; www.bratserver.com; www.spouseserver.com; www.helpingvets.com) is unique. It is the Internet's first collection of 12 databases that lets members find veterans without knowing their name. Not only that, VetServer alerts members whenever they receive communication from new users. Created by veterans for veterans, only VetServer lets users locate and instantly reunite with veterans from all branches regardless of their current military status, using twelve databases from 1918 to the present. While we don't want to take away from this site at all (it's another wonderful resource!), would you please join us for the opening on May 28, 2001? Thanks!

This is in honor of my mother, June McCreary Cannard, who passed away April 7, 2001. She was a very big part of the annual Memorial Day Parade & Commemoration in our town, by finding interesting veterans, politicians and historians to speak at the Memorial. The members of the VFW and ALP told us that if ever they were to give a military honor guard to a non-soldier, she would be it! My father, James Cannard, was a bombadier and POW during WWII. Two of my three brothers served in the Navy during the Vietnam Era. My grandfather McCreary had served in WWI, WWII, and Korean. This also honors them and all those who served with them. Thank you for this opportunity to post this message for others to see and hopefully, inspire others to honor their loved ones, as well.

Although I was born 16 years after WW2 was ended, I have learned a lot about it at school, and by reading books and articles. It is clear to me that the American Army was a big (maybe even the biggest) contribution to our freedom (together with the Canadian and English army). Because it is already 56 years ago, there are less and less people who where involved in that war. There are a lot of young people now, who are , unfortunately, not really interested in this history. I think, we never may forget what happened that time, and we certainely have to remember all those soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. If they had not done this, I think the world would be very different and worse from what it is now. Why don't you promote this site more in the Netherlands so that also the younger people get to know more about this? I visited this site because I am in America this year during Memorial day. This because my girlfriend is American, and it is nice to be together with the holidays. Therefore I wanted to know some more about Memorial day, and it must be said; this site is perfect to get all the information you need about Memorial day. Perfect! Thank you!

Great web site. Found it doing research for a Memorial Day presentation. Tremendously thought provoking site which has something for everyone. As a military retiree it provides a fitting tribute to those of us who served and lived but pays special tribute to those who served and paid the supreme sacrifice. God Bless them all.

As the Grandaughter, and Sister of United States Marines, I was touched to see the stories, pictures, and history of the country's gratitude and praise of these brave souldiers.

You have created an excellent resource to honor veterans. I was also very pleased to see the extent to which you have included resources from other countries (ie American cemetaries overseas etc) Best regards from Maryland

This is a great website to honor all veterans and is very informative. Many interesting facts are exposed that are not known by the general public. So many people think of Memorial Day as the beginning of summer and just another day to be off work and have fun.

Very informative site. It would be great if people really remembered America's heroes and observed the day. Perhaps more awareness will help some from just thinking it's a beach or shopping holiday.

[Memorial Day Webmaster: you can find several resources on the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial at the Memorials & Casualty Page: www.usmemorialday.org/memorials.html. Using the site's search engine should bring up more information and resources as well.]
I was researching Memorial Day for the Main Page of the Internet Service Provider that I work for, and I just wanted to thank you for your informative and moving web site. I was, unfortunately, unable to access the Moment of Remembrance link, but was otherwise very impressed. It is unfortunate that school children are not taught more about the meaning of this special day, or even adults for that matter. Too many people view Memorial Day as the third day in a three-day weekend. Thank you for reminding me what this day really means. I will be sure to pass that knowledge on to our customers at Senior Explorer. Sincerely, Marie Brathwaite

[Memorial Day Webmaster:We've fixed the Moment of Remembrance link. The change in Presidents meant the old whitehouse.gov pages were removed.]
I wanted to sign your guest book. My father, George, served with Third Army 1944-1946. I'm in the process now of trying to put together a memorial box for my mom. Dad passed away 10 years ago and I only wish I had taken the avantage of that time to learn about how it was to serve during that period.
