Last week, I read on Military.com a survey determined only 55% of Americans know why the Nation marks Memorial Day. I say the people on this forum are not among those 55%.

Yesterday, I saw a picture and story that is appropriate for today, Memorial Day 2020.

Let's remember our heroes and the reasons why the Nation marks Memorial Day as we look at the picture and read about Don Stratton who died Saturday.

Rest in Peace all of our heroes!

    I remember a few years back I had a chance to visit Bastogne on Memorial Day. What a tribute to all those who died for us during WW2. Both American and European citizens, united in their remembrance to all the fallen soldiers.

    God bless all of our fallen heros.
