Ways to Observe
Memorial Day - Memorial Day reminds us of our duties towards 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 towards them in the following ways: Adorning
the graves of the soldiers with flags or flowers, Visiting cemeteries and
memorials, Furling the American Flag at half-mast until noon, Furling the
'POW/MIA Flag', Keep silence for a minute at 3 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, You
may support the efforts to restore the traditional day of observance of
Memorial Day back to May 30th or Offering thanks to the veterans
and appreciating the ultimate sacrifices of the soldiers to the bereaved
families personally may help too. |

Weekly Insight
It's a
law of the universe that judgment attracts judgment. If
that's the frame of mind we consciously choose to be in,
then that's what we'll create for ourselves. What we
really want to do is inject compassion, or what the
Kabbalists call mercy, into every situation...... |
