Memorial Day in the United States is for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. This holiday is observed on the last Monday of May.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War in the American South and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.

Remembering all who gave their all ❤🇺🇲

Been thinking about my good friend specialist Harris. We served together in Korea for about 9 months in 1967 then he put in for a transfer to Viet Nam. He was dead within a month. RIP buddy.

Memorial day is for men and women who had fought for a country and died in battles and wars 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

[@speedtime1218]

A lot of these young adults gave their lives for us. They gave up the chance to experience love, raise a family, and grow old around them so that we can experience those privileges. Let us all experience the things they never got to for them. I hope we will never forget the privileges these braves soldiers have granted us. May they rest piece and thank you for your service.

The last time we had Christmas You reached for me with your hand. I looked at you, then made a wish That I might be just half the man. I love my father of Earth, And I love my Father of Heaven. It's a lot for me to love, you know For I’m only eleven. Mom and I sure miss you Since you left to defend our flag. When others ask, where’s your dad I can't help but share, cry and brag.

The men and women of the army died so we could be free just as Jesus Christ died on the cross so we could be free from sin.

The only good reason for fighting is to make the world safer. Other (more national) interests are poor excuses IMO. To the true departed heroes from the wars which were worth fighting, I say: Rest in peace and thank you for making the world safer.

[@seyaresmati7320]

It's weird for me to see people honor the men that massacred and killed my family and most of the people I knew from my village.. I know it's their duty to serve but it is surrealistic to me. I am from Afghanistan btw, living in Belgium.

American's died in Jamaica (my country) too but mostly during training. One such incident is about a B-26 Bomb with 6 U.S. airmen onboard during a training mission. Jan.7,1945 about a hour in their mission some thing went wrong and the pilot tried to ditch the plane in the sea but it stalled, went into a violent spit and crashed in foll view of residents of the near by fishing village of Rocky Point. Leonard Rookwood and other fishermen louch scul boats in an attempt to sescue them but only one mutilated body was recovered and handed over to U.S. personel from the army air base Vernam Field wear the plane was based. This story is largly forgoten these day but I made mention about it on line and was surprice to get a E.mail from the co-pilot's nethew. The story story was also heard on live radio in Jamaica on Christine Wright program on Megajamz 9fm and we are now friends on FaceBook.

MEMORIAL DAY SOLDIER - 2021 It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice. It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, preacher or teacher But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice. Our soldiers line up to be remembered As the best of the best at their job. They wish to be needed and depended on To save all we love from the mob. They risk their life and limb for liberty Standing firm against evil unwilling to break. To be part of something greater than themselves They are willing to forgo whatever it will take. Morals, faith, trust and courage Are what God’s best are made of. Defending what’s right; confronting what’s wrong Propelled by achievement, loyalty and love. THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

As you see social media statements posted from Republicans commemorating Memorial Day, just remember that they are the political party acting every day to dismantle the democratic principles so many men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice to defend.

[@Menelaosmintokleineis]

in April 1775 when the British tried to seize ammunition supplies and arrest the Patriot leaders. In terms of political values, the Americans were largely united on a concept called Republicanism, which rejected aristocracy and emphasized civic duty and a fear of corruption. For the Founding Fathers, according to one team of historians, "republicanism represented more than a particular form of government. It was a way of life, a core ideology, an uncompromising commitment to liberty, and a total rejection of aristocracy." America was found on republicanism.

[@davidblaskie8987]

@Marc von Borstel: Especially on this Memorial Day, 2021, would you please not post your intolerance of those whose opinions differ from yours? This is from a person, many regard as conservative, and who enlisted in the Navy in August 1967, when I could have avoided military service by attending college which many of my peers did.
