Memorial Day

If the price of “liberty" is that we must tolerate the periodic massacre of schoolchildren, that's OK with the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Olde Salem Brewing Company is inviting you to join them in honoring and remembering those who died while serving in the U.S. military. Roanoke’s Memorial Day Ceremony will be held Monday to recognize and give back to our greatest heroes who died during service to the nation.

During the ceremony, the Roanoke Valley War Memorial will also be recognized with a wreath-laying. Projects for a family of three will be $39.99 in total, while a family of four will cost $52.99. It will cost $12.99 if you want to bring an additional person. Starting at 11 a.m., you can stop by and enjoy a mix and match art project at the studio. Following the ceremony of these fallen heroes, flowers will be placed on the graves of the eight Bedford Boys who were laid to rest there. The Imagination Station Studio in Forest wants you to spend this Memorial Day creating memories with your family. At 11 a.m., people will gather at Lynchburg’s Monument Terrace to remember those who paid the ultimate price.

They were just a great group of young soldiers." My friends know what it is. All the veterans that I serve with out here [in the honor guard], they know what it is.

Since being sworn in as a member of the United States House of Representatives, it has been a key passion and priority of mine to care for the families left behind by our fallen heroes and my fallen brothers and sisters. As a nation, I ask that we reflect upon those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, pay tribute to the fallen and never forget the families they left behind. This article is an Op-Ed and as such, the opinions expressed are those of the authors. Deeply emotional moments in my career involving the fallen and their families often play out in my memories as I reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day. Several years ago, when I was freshly promoted to brigadier general in the Air Force, one of my first duties was to serve as the accident investigation board president for an Air Force MC-12 reconnaissance aircraft that crashed on a mission over Afghanistan, horrifically killing all four crewmembers on board. As I reflect upon those our country has lost and those brave warriors whom I personally knew, I am reminded of the importance of not only honoring and remembering their service and sacrifice, but honoring them through action, by caring for the families they leave behind. Memorial Day is one of the most sacred days of the year for our nation — and for me personally.

It's the unofficial start of summer in the US, and it's a good time to score a deal on equipment for your next adventure.

If you're the type that needs to have good espresso on the trail, the Picopresso is our favorite portable espresso maker. Oru’s foldable kayaks are another possibility for those of us without the space to store and transport boats. This is the best thing I’ve tested this year. Strap your tent poles to the outside, and you’re ready to do a couple of weeks on the trail. If you plan to use it in a treeless area like the beach, be sure to pick up the poles, which are sold separately (though they seem to be out of stock everywhere at the moment). Add the Picopresso to your cart to see the discount at checkout. The Ranger is the smaller, more portable sibling to the Yukon, which we reviewed and liked. This one just adds the ability to recline for some night sky viewing. It burns wood and charcoal and packs down surprisingly small when you want to throw it in the trunk and hit the road. I think WIRED associate editor Adrienne So summed up this chair well when she said: “To be honest, it’s huge, heavy, takes up a lot of space, and is awkward to fold. Our favorite barefoot shoes are on sale at REI. The women’s sizing is also on sale for the same price. Whether you're a kayaker, climber, griller, or someone who just loves to sit on a camp chair and bask in the sun, these Memorial Day sales have something for you.

For those who want a bit more of a tonal chameleon, a HSS-equipped Strat is the guitar to have. Shell Pink Strats are criminally underrated - and when they're on sale we love them even more. When you've got a good quality Strat, there's not much you can't do - especially when you have a high-output humbucker in the bridge position. For well under $700, this is a steal.

The Thermapen is one of the best grilling accessories for good reason: It does its job, and it does it quickly. The price is matched at Walmart and GameStop, and the deal is valid only for the PlayStation versions of the game. Zuvi's Halo Hair Dryer ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) is another expensive hair tool, but it's an excellent option if you want to reduce the amount of heat you're applying to your hair. Resident pizza oven enthusiast and WIRED editor Adrienne So loves the Solo Stove Pi ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends). From the overall shape and design to the oven’s glowing performance, she had a lot of good things to say in her review, and it will likely make our Best Pizza Ovens list soon. This game is featured in our list of the Best Couch Co-Op Games. It’s family-friendly, so it might be a good pickup for kids facing down another long summer. The price is matched at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop. This is the first discount we've tracked for the popular title. Google's Nest Hub ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends) is powered by Google Assistant, so you can ask it anything from the weather to whether your dog can eat grapes (no!). It has a screen, so you can read the answers to your queries and also use the touchscreen to control your smart home. This deal was around a few days ago as well, and matches the lowest price we've seen on Amazon. Its products are featured in many of our guides, including the Best Wireless Chargers, Best USB Hubs, Best iPad Accessories, and Best iPhone Accessories. The deal is matched at Best Buy and Buydig (where it comes with a $75 Visa gift card). It's not listed in our Best Bluetooth Speakers guide, but we have tried and like the previous model of this JBL speaker.

Memorial Day is about saluting those who fight the battle on the side that yearns for a freer, more peaceful world once the shooting stops.

Hundreds of thousands of American men and women have perished in giving us and others the opportunity for brighter tomorrows — from the Revolutionary War, the Union troops in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Desert Storm, the War on Terror, and other missions. But, one stigma remained from the sixties — the conflicting concepts of “anti-war” or not. I once heard someone refer to war as “the Devil’s game.” I was proud to share this experience with them, even if I was one of the least. I learned most of the young men in my platoon were capable of great individual courage when the going got tough. I know it is the face of every recruit who I battled through hell and emerged triumphant with on boot camp graduation day. For the next couple of days, nonstop coverage of the tragedy dominated every television station. I weep when I see his face — because I know it is my face. I remember feeling a bit miffed they pre-empted my cartoon shows. We knew, or at least felt pretty sure, about how our fellow travelers in misery would respond when the only options were to stand head-on against the hurricane of unbearable challenge or to wilt. When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, my second-grade teacher announced it to the class; I think the school might have even turned the clock back to the time of the shooting as a tribute. They learned mine in the first 15 minutes.

Memorial Day became an official national holiday in 1971 to honor Americans who died in military service, some 1.1. million people since the nation’s founding. Of course, numbers are inadequate shorthand for the horror and the grief that every death provokes. But it feels appropriate to use the day this year to honor other Americans who have died from other cataclysmic events — the million who have been killed by the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, and the 1.5 million who have been killed by firearms over the last four decades.

Vikki and Mark Pier used to regularly travel to Arlington National Cemetery to visit their son's final resting place. But due to health issues, ...

Vikki said she hopes that she and Mark can manage to make the journey for Noah's birthday on July 28; he would have turned 38 this year. It pains Mark and Vikki to have been away from the cemetery for so long. Noah spent the first 11 years of his life in Fairfax, Va., just 18 miles away from the cemetery, before the family moved to Charlotte, N.C. Mark and Vikki said Noah was fascinated by American history as a kid. Mark and Vikki decided to move with their four youngest children less than a year after Noah's death. "They said he could be buried in Arlington, or a cemetery of our choice, and we just chose Arlington because, you know, he was from there," Mark added. The Piers said they had no words to describe how they felt when they found out Noah was killed.

“These values continue to serve as a guide for the force, and in our diversity, they provide a sense of common unity.” “In the Army, we consider our greatest asset to be our people,” he added. Albanese killed six snipers and was mortally wounded when he ran out of ammunition. “Memorial Day is a day of national awareness and solemn reverence,” said Maj. Gen. JB Vowell, commander of USARJ. It is “a day for us to honor the military men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation, its values and our freedom.” “We are reminded that the world remains a very dangerous place, and that our Soldiers are in harm’s way all across the globe,” Vowell said. “Today, we continue to honor those left behind, those who paid a very personal price for us and our nation,” said Vowell, who also recognized Gold Star family members during the ceremony.

An official day dedicated to this tragic reality will remind us that firearms take a daily toll in this country, and perhaps move Americans to action. Consider the number of people murdered by gunmen at houses of worship over the past several years. Their names should be before us, observed on a specified day each year, when we remember them and the need to address this enemy in our midst. And a 2014 study by UC San Francisco found that people with ready access to firearms were three times more likely to die by suicide. Memorial Day is a time to remember our war dead, those in the armed services who gave their lives to protect our nation. Dedicating a day to honor these veterans and mourn their deaths helps remind us of the terrible toll of war.

We must invest in the care of service members and their families, from health care to housing to education. “On this Memorial Day, we must renew our commitment to not only honor those who have fallen in the fight for our freedom, but those who return from war. “As our nation reels from the devastating loss of civilian life in cities and towns across our country as a result of the epidemic of gun violence, we come together today to honor those brave Americans who elect to put their own lives on the line to keep other Americans safe as members of the Armed Services. Every year – but especially this year – we commemorate Memorial Day with solemnity and reflect together as a nation on the sanctity of every life, and the immense sacrifice of every life that’s been lost, from the battlefield to the schoolyard.

“Life in the military is not a movie with a happy ending,” he said. John Fuller, who attended Monday’s memorial, lost his brother, James “Skinner” Fuller, in the Vietnam War. “I remember that day like it was yesterday,” John told the RoundTable. “I remember when the officers came to our front door. I remember the knock. At the time, women having equal status to men was considered radical by many Americans. Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin said, speaking to the crowd that the vast majority of the soldiers whose names mark the Fountain Square Veterans Memorial Wall died young. The service was sponsored by local veteran groups, including the Evanston American Legion Post 42 and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7186.

A prominent journalist of the World War II era complained once about the frequent use of the word “boys” when speaking of U.S. troops in the field.

“The men in the road seemed reluctant to leave. And then he got up and walked away down the road in the moonlight, all alone.” A prominent journalist of the World War II era complained once about the frequent use of the word “boys” when speaking of U.S. troops in the field. “The unburdened mules moved off to their olive orchard,” Pyle wrote. But the term was meant more as an expression of affection and solidarity — “our boys in uniform” — than as a description. In fact, the average age of those who died in the Second World War was about 27, and their numbers did include a good many youths.

Latham said Luna was in the process of diffusing a landmine when one of his squad members stepped on it. The Memorial Day event was organized by the Waxahachie Chapter of Woodmen Life, a nonprofit, member-owned life insurance organization. Also attending the ceremony were two local Gold Star families. “The freedoms we enjoy, the freedoms we take so much for granted, the freedoms we so often trifle with were bought,” Latham said. Charles Atchley, a World War II veteran, also attended the ceremony. Atchley was in combat during the Battle of the Bulge, a German offensive on the Western Front in Europe. He was awarded the prestigious Croix de Guerre, a decoration awarded by France to a squad or individual serving on the country’s foreign military allied forces for their brave and heroic actions.

Sharing these stories – legacies, really – of those who are no longer here is important to do. Hundreds lined Main Street to watch veterans, Canandaigua Middle School and Academy marching bands, scores of the community's youngsters, fire trucks and others make their way to Woodlawn Cemetery, for another service.
