Memorial Day

This is “remembering” day, a day to honor the memory of those who have
given their lives for their country. At solemn public services, at burial grounds,
and in the seclusion of one’s heart, the war dead are remembered-as individual
loved ones and as the nation’s heroes.
Flowers and flags are placed on their graves as symbols of human affection and
patriotic duty; moving speeches recall their heroic deeds; and fervent prayers are
offered for peace among mankind.
Memorial Day, known first as Decoration Day, came into being a hundred
years ago, at the close of the Civil War.
In 1873 New York made May 30 a legal holiday and soon all other states had
adopted a Memorial Day.
Thus, the day which originally commemorated those who died in the civil war
has become a day to remember the deeds and sacrifices of all dead.

V-Time for a song:

We Are the World

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world comes together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand
To life, the greatest gift of all

We can’t go on pretending day by day

That someone somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe, there’s no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one.
