Memorial Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May each year. For-merly known as Deco-ration Day, it com-memorates US men and women who gave their lives while in military service for their country. While Memorial Day was first enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3:00 pm local time each Memorial Day for one minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the US. As Moment of Remembrance founder Car-mella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memo-rial Day.” Memorial Day and Labor Day are often referred to as bookend holidays, mark-ing the beginning and end of the summer holiday in the United States. Memorial Day in the United States, a Day of Remembrance Originally held on the 30th of every May, it is now observed on the last Monday in May each year, as one of the most special days for those who had

family members in the various wars, battles, and conflicts over the decades. This holiday originally called “Decoration Day”, was first officially ob-served on May 30, 1868 as the result of General John Logan’s General Order No.

11. Flowers were placed on Confederate and Union soldier’s graves at Arlington National Cemetery on that day. Several southern states continue to have an additional day to honor the Confeder-ate war dead, including Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana and Tennessee. Events of Memorial Day Americans often do following every year during Memorial Day: • Fly the American flag at half mast.

This is done during all national days of mourning or days of respect for soldiers and other men and women in the armed services.

20 Crazy Things

To Wonder about

When walking down the street, entering a house, picking up a book or even just surfing through the

web using your laptop or your personal computer, there are so many things we do without even thinking of them. This article, points to some of the funniest and oddest human behavior that even you do or maybe just some interesting facts to won-der about. 1) Why does the glue in a tube not stick to the tube itself? 2) Academic research has detailed reports stating that from a group of four men or women one will most certainly have a men-tal ailment of some kind or the other. Think about this calculation: if you have three normal friends, then you unfortunately are the fourth one out. In other words, the fourth person with a mental illness is none other than you. 3) Why do we press down hard on the re-mote control even though we know that the batteries are weak? 4) Ever watched old (and even newer de-scriptions in film) about Tarzan? If he is supposed to be living in the wild, what hap-pened to his beard? 5) Switched those bulbs that are enclosed in tight plastic shutters? Have you noticed that whenever you go to do that there are always dead bugs inside? How did they manage to get there? 6) Why can't we ever manage to open a plastic bag on the first attempt? 7) Why do they use sterilized needles when injecting a convict on death row? 8) Why does a bank take interest on money when your account is overdrawn? From where do they think you are going to pay them? If you had the cash you would have used it, wouldn't you? 9) Why don't we ever hear jokes about father-in-laws? 10) When statistics claim that the sum of all the stars in the sky is about four billion, people believe it. But, when someone sees a sign on a park bench or board stating "wet paint", they must verify this? 11) How many times will we keep coming

back and opening the door to the fridge when we are hungry? Do we really think that food will appear there miraculously? 12) Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest but ducks if after the bullets are over the gun is thrown at him? 13) I'm sure you've heard of the evolution-ary claim that mankind has evolved from monkeys. Before I am to believe this, I want to know that if this is so why are mon-keys still roaming earth? 14) If you are sitting by a table and some-thing is accidentally falling off, don't try and prevent its fall. Why? Every time you try, you will accidentally hit and break some-thing else. 15) Why did the Japanese pilots who were planning to crash into American ships wear helmets? 16) Why do people move a vacuum cleaner over a small piece of thread again and again? Why do we pick it up, examine it and then place it back down and move the vacuum cleaner over it to give it a sec-ond chance? 17) How come soap bubbles are always white no matter what the color of the soap? 18) Is it winter or summer wherever you are right now? Have you noticed that if it is summer we try and make the house as cold as it would be during winter, and if it is winter, we try and make the house as hot as it would be during summer? 19) Why is it that whenever you walk past a mattress dealership, they have large signs advertising a big price reduction? 20) Isn't it silly that when if wandering through one of the large shopping malls someone doesn't pay attention and the cart they are pushing smacks into your toes, and then they say sorry, all we can think of saying is that no harm was done while your toe is aching. Before I End: Above you have run into about twenty or so intriguing incidents on life that I or some friend of mine has come across. Most will be familiar to you. Some might not. But, I hope that each one of them will if not make you at least laugh, bring a smile to your face and to your heart. Author: Actively seeking out the humor out of every situation, Rammy Johnson.

“Memorial Day” continued from Page 1… • Attend a speech or concert. This a favorite activity for those who wish to

honor the country and its people. Many Memorial Day celebrations are held in parks or public places in order to bring people together in a unifying way. In addition, many musical groups hold special performances. There is a na-tional event in Washington, D.C. which is broadcast on PBS television and NPR radio for all to hear around the country and the world. “The Stars and Stripes Forever” composed by John Philip Sousa is one of the many familiar songs performed on this day.

• Have a backyard barbecue or cook out. These

social gatherings are very American in nature, with Memorial Day weekend being a favorite times to host such an event. In fact, since this holiday is a three day weekend from school and work with the added benefit of warmer weather, many enjoy cook outs in their back-yards. Common foods include hot dogs and hamburgers, corn on the cob, steak, and chicken. It may be that this weekend is thought of as the beginning of summer mak-ing it a favorite time to hold a BBQ.

• Go to beach. Since this is often the first weekend the kids are home from

school, many people head to the coast for some warm weather and waves. From the Jersey Shore to the tip of Florida, Americans like to spend this holi-day weekend at the coast.

• Watch car races. There are two very notable races held on Memorial Day,

the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. These races are attended by thousands and are watched by millions.

As the meaning of “Memorial Day” has broadened to include events not origi-nally associated with “Decoration Day”, more and more Americans choose to celebrate the day. With the country involved in armed conflicts overseas, many people have be-come more interested in what goes on with the country’s military and other armed forces resulting in an increased awareness about the purpose of this holi-day.

America the Beautiful Words by Katharine Lee Bates,

Melody by Samuel Ward

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife.

Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life!

America! America! May God thy gold refine
