One thing my father did for his family was a strong passionate sense of patriotism. He loved his country. Although he served in the army for a short time, he never considered himself worthy of the same recognition as soldiers who fought overseas. After 9/11, I distinctly remember my dad saying, "If they'd let me, I'd go over there and fight right now." When he made that comment, he was 65 years old. His love for the United States of America spilled over into the rest of our family.
Let's take a Memorial Day quiz -
Memorial Day was not the original name of the holiday. What was it originally called?
Which war prompted the remembrance of those who died serving our country?
What was the original date of Memorial Day?
Which flower was sold on this day to raise money for war orphaned children and widowed wives?
Although the actual city is unknown, which city was officially declared by President Johnson to be the birthplace of this holiday?
Tomorrow we will continue with Preparing your Kids for College. I will also give you the answers to the quiz so have your red grading pencil ready.
Be sure to display your American Flag and thank our soldiers and veterans.
Cherish your day of freedom - Robin
