This date was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. On this date, 5,000 people decorated the graves of 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery.1While many Memorial Day celebrations will be curtailed by the coronavirus crisis, we can practice social distancing while planting flags near, placing honor wreaths on, and tidying around the graves of veterans who died in service to our country.

Depending on your age, flag-decorated gravestones and Taps echoing through the cemetery are Memorial Day memories from childhood. But, do you know how Taps came to be the standard for military funerals?In July 1862, after the loss of 600 men in battle, Union General Daniel Butterfield wanted to honor his men. Traditionally, the end of day ballad was a French tune called Lights Out, but General Butterfield felt it was too formal for the somber aftermath of battle. He called upon his bugler, Oliver Wilcox Norton, to play the notes of a bugle call revised by General Butterfield himself. The music created that night is the melancholy tune known as Taps. In 1891, it officially became mandatory at military funerals. It’s also played during flag ceremonies and at Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps at day’s end. A National Moment of Remembrance was passed in December of 2000 and asks for a moment of silence followed by Taps at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day to remember, reflect, and honor those who have given their lives in service to our country. Our job is to serve you, so if there is any way we can be of assistance, please let us know.Click on this link to hear Taps played: The above material was prepared by Carson Coaching.Another VersionLPL Compliance Approval # 727180[Subject line] Memorial Day Trivia QuizOn Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives fighting America’s wars by decorating their graves and honoring their lives.

Unfortunately, few Americans remember the reason for Memorial Day – just 28 percent, according to a Gallup poll. In an effort to restore Americans’ understanding of this important day, the United States Congress created the National Moment of Remembrance. The moment is intended to create a national act of unity that provides a sense of history to all citizens and ensures that younger generations understand the sacrifices that have been made to preserve our liberties. This Memorial Day, at 3:00 p.m. local time, spend a quiet minute remembering those who died fighting for our great nation – and make a commitment to give something back to our country in their memory.

As General Douglas MacArthur accepted the Sylvanus Thayer Award in 1962, which is presented to an outstanding citizen of the United States whose service and accomplishments in the national interest exemplify personal devotion to the ideals expressed in the West Point motto, “Duty, Honor, Country,"?he described our men and women at arms in this way: “… My estimate of [the American soldier] was formed on the battlefields many, many years ago, and has never changed.? I regarded him then, as I regard him now, as one of the world's noblest figures; not only as one of the finest military characters, but also as one of the most stainless.His name and fame are the birthright of every American citizen.? In his youth and strength, his love and loyalty, he gave all that mortality can give.? He needs no eulogy from me or from any other man.? He has written his own history and written it in red on his enemy's breast.But when I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion of admiration I cannot put into words. He belongs to history as furnishing one of the greatest examples of successful patriotism.? He belongs to posterity as the instructor of future generations in the principles of liberty and freedom.? He belongs to the present, to us, by his virtues and by his achievements.”On this Memorial Day, celebrate those Americans who have ensured freedom and democracy by sacrificing their lives for our country.

During World War I, Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian surgeon of the First Brigade Artillery, wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields” as a tribute to soldiers who died fighting there. Inspired by the poem, Moina Michael, a Georgia native, wrote:We cherish too, the Poppy redThat grows on fields where valor led,It seems to signal to the skiesThat blood of heroes never dies. Soon after, people began wearing red poppies on Memorial Day to honor fallen American soldiers.The red poppy also may be thought of as a symbol of American healing. Before World War I, the North and the South designated separate holidays to remember their soldiers who had died during the Civil War. After World War I, the holiday was changed to remember fallen Americans from all wars, and the country united to remember those who gave their lives defending our nation and its values. Please join us this year in participating in the National Moment of Remembrance. On Memorial Day, at 3 p.m. local time, take a few minutes to remember the men and women who have died fighting for our country.The above material was prepared by Carson Coaching. ................
