Ways To Observe Memorial Day
Ways To Observe Memorial Day
Memorial Day reminds us of our duties toward the wounded soldiers and the bereaved families, orphans and widows of the dead soldiers. We should honor the dead by adorning their sacred remains with flowers and garlands and show our gratitude toward them in the following ways:
- Adorning the graves of the soldiers with flags or flowers.
- Visiting cemeteries and memorials.
- Fly the American flag at half-mast until noon.
- Fly the POW/MIA flag
- Keep silent for a minute at 3:00 p.m., 'National Moment of Remembrance' and listen to Taps being played.
- Take a pledge to aid the disabled veterans, widows, widowers and orphans of the dead and keep it.
- Offering thanks to the veterans and appreciating the ultimate sacrifices of the soldiers to the bereaved families personally may help too.
