Follow on Google News | Show Support for Operation Homefront This Memorial DayBy: Veza While this holiday is often spent by the pool, on vacation or around family and friends, it seems that Memorial Day may have lost some of its meaning, with many of us viewing it as an opportunity to enjoy a three day weekend. Sometimes it's nice to bring ourselves back to the simple meaning of the holiday and enjoy it for what it was really meant to be. There are some easy ways to bring yourself back to the true meaning of Memorial Day. First, participate in the National Moment of Remembrance. It is one minute of silence that occurs at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day in honor of remembering and honoring those who have lost their lives in service to the Unites States of America. This is a way to put the "memory" back into Memorial Day. Memorial Day is an outstanding opportunity to make a difference to those who have served our country in military uniform or to remember those who have given the ultimately sacrifice in serving their country. Here are five recommendations and tips on easy ways to Make A Difference: 1. Visit a cemetery and read the headstones of those who have died for our freedom; think about what their sacrifice means to you! 2. Attend the Memorial Day activities in your community ... most cities have a parade or some sort of commemoration; 3. As you drive around town, hold a mini US Flag out the window to show your support for the United States. 4. Visit a VA Hospital or senior center where there are veterans; listen to their stories 5. Make a charitable donation to Operation Homefront by buying, wearing and supporting The Neon on Black Veza Wristband in Support of Operation Homefront.
