Memorial Day
The last, full measure of devotion
As your editor, I don’t think there’s much more that needs to be said.
However, in keeping with our educational mission here at CSLF, here is a nice writeup about Memorial Day from the National Cemetery Administration, a branch of the Veterans Administration.
An elementary school chorus performed at the town's Memorial Day ceremony, drastically increasing the attendance of people under 60. They were good. Speakers included a representative of the VFW, a retired Air Force nurse who had served in Somalia; and the district chairman of the American Legion, an Army veteran of the Panama and Grenada campaigns. And the mayor, who is a cheerful guy.
Good morning. On this Memorial Day, please take time to remember our honored dead whose sacrifice preserves our freedoms. 65 degrees here with highs in the 70s. An unusually cool Memorial Day but at least no rain.
