This might be an appropriate way to pause and remember the real meaning of Monday's holiday:
28th Annual Memorial Day Interfaith Service
Honoring Civilian and Military Victims of War
Monday, May 28 at 11 a.m.
The Service includes Music, Prayers, Candle lighting for the fallen
and the traditional reading of the “Litany of Battles”
