Go to Arlington Cemetery this weekend for a nice family outing; reflect on what has been done on our collective behalf; see 250,000 small flags all laid on tombstones; all laid by soldiers and volunteers — or go check out the parade that is held as a homage to our military services.  Click here for some logistical details for the weekend.

Or go check out Rolling Thunder — on Constitution Avenue — one of the best and loudest of celebrations in our land — click here for more information.  These folks are wonderful citizens — and make sure we will never forget MIA’s  or lost souls in foreign lands.

Since our civil war — we have kept the men and woman of our military services in our hearts and prayers; for those of us lucky to live in DC — take some time this weekend to let it all sink in — and understand the true meaning of Memorial Day; check out this entry from Wikipedia as well for more information.
