It's Monday of the Memorial Day weekend.
Memorial Day (last Monday in May) A day to remember, show respect, and honor the brave men and women who DIED while in service to our country. They paid the ultimate sacrifice and are missed by spouses, children, parents, extended family, friends, and their comrades every day of the year. On this day, we reflect on their sacrifice.
Armed Forces Day (3rd Saturday in May) A day to recognize and thank the Active Duty men and women who are CURRENTLY and courageously serving in all of our military branches.
Veterans Day (November 11) A day set aside to thank and honor ALL of those who SERVED honorably in our Armed Forces, in wartime or peacetime. This day is intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are and always will be appreciated, and to emphasize that all those who served have sacrificed and done their duty.

I'm IN.

This morning the YM honor guard will assist at the mayor's Memorial Day service, with masking and social distancing in place.
Then? Burgers at home, and a quiet day. Mindful of those who died in the service of our country.
Coffee... ☕☕☕...
🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼 Be well! Have a healthy-eating day, all! 🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼🌸🌺🌸🌼

Nice post MJ.
I’m IN. Doing a bit of laundry this morning, then heading to see DB and DSIL. We’ll enjoy Happy Hour on their backyard patio. Can’t wait.
Enjoy your day

Thank you Fullmahina - This looks like Arlington - May sound strange but it is my favorite place in DC - Sacred Ground. DH served for 21 years and thank God he is still here with me.

The thought of those who died fighting on behalf of our country makes me so sad.
Will be reading some essays and articles today on those sacrifices. The ultimate sacrifice of giving up their lives.

Oops, I forgot to check in this morning! Beautiful day here now; we had rain yesterday and last night but it's clear and 80 now.
On Memorial Day I like to remember the people who died for us so that we could have such a great country. It will never be perfect but it's better than any other place on Earth. Thankful.

I’m in. Sunshine and blue skies today. Yesterday’s rain has moved out and a new day is shining fourth as I take time to remember those who lost their lives fighting for our country.
I’ll be KOKO with tracking and hydrating as I move forward toward blue. Have a healthy day everyone.
