    For those of you that live in the USA hope you all take a moment today to remember that Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving this country.

    I read yesterday this was started for the Union Soldiers way back when. That's a lot of souls between then and now!

    At 3:00 pm local time, please take a time out from whatever you're doing to observe the National Moment of Silence.

    And please, if you're one of those people, stop and think a second before wishing a veteran or currently serving military member a happy Memorial Day.

    Also read on a wiki May 30 was picked originally because no battle anniversary had that date and also since most areas had flowers in bloom that time of the year.
