"The best way to pay respect is to value why a sacrifice was made," LT Mark
Dooley

Memorial Day is meant to be a solemn occasion, a uniquely military holiday-the
only one that honors fallen soldiers. But since the first one on May 30, 1868, a
little after the Civil War (then known as "Decoration 
Day") when flowers were placed on the graves of soldiers from both the North and
the South, Memorial Day's quiet reverence has slowly been lost to the noise of
commerce and the American pursuit of recreation. --
