Memorial Day

Memorial Day

What is Memorial Day?

It is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered for their hard work, and their contribution of this country's citizens' well being. 


When is Memorial Day each year?

 This holiday is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May, making this year's  Memorial Day on Monday 28, 2018.

What are some ways to show honor and respect on memorial day?

Many people honor those who died serving the country by visiting their cemeteries and memorials. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. 

What are a few things you will do on Memorial Day to show honor and respect? 

Can try to go to a parade in a local area to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed their life for us. Also take a moment to acknowledge their work and not just ignore it.  

Facts:

  • It started with the civil war
  • Was first known as decoration day
  • It has it's own customs
  • Not even unidentified people go unnoticed 

Reflection:

 I think it is a day that is necessary to celebrate in our country, We honor those who died protecting us from harm. It is good to have a holiday to remember those who helped us but cannot be here with us. That;s why it is important to learn more about this holiday, to get more involved. That's why instead of going home and not doing anything that day, as if it were an ordinary day, do something to honor them. Go to a parade, a cemetery, a barbecue, but do something to honor them. After all where would we be without them?

Daily Student Successs Statement

"Being a c-t-r person isn't always easy, but it's the best person you can be." -Diana Beltran  Reflection: I agree with this statement and know that it is correct. This statement says that being a c-t-r person at all times can be hard at times. So it means that sometimes there can be temptations when having to make a choice. Sometimes you feel the urge to chose the wrong. Which is true, a lot of times you want to do something you know it's wrong but you shouldn't. This statement also says that being a ctr person is the right thing to do. It says that you have the option to be the kind of person you want to be, and you should always want to be actr perosn as it is the best kind of person you can be, as other type of people are not as good. So it says that when given the otion to chose what kind of person you want to be it is a ctr person. So although it's hard at times being a ctr person is worth it. And that is why I agree with Diana Beltran's...
