Memorial Day should be more than barbecues and picnics.
Memorial Day should reminds us of our duties towards the wounded soldiers and the bereaved families, orphans and widows of the dead soldiers.
We should honor the dead by adorning their sacred remains with flowers and garlands and show our gratitude towards them.
We should adorn the graves of the soldiers with flags or flowers.
We should visit cemeteries and memorials.
We should furl the American Flag at half-mast until noon.
Keep silence for a minute at 3 p.m., 'National Moment of Remembrance' and listen to Taps being played.
Take a pledge to aid the disabled veterans, widows, widowers and orphans of the dead and keep it.
Offer thanks to the veterans.
I listened to many video's, but how can you top this one by Ray Charles. Please take a few minutes and watch and listen to it, then thank God you're American, or wish you were!

How can you top that? I've always loved Ray Charles. You want the definition of "soul". That right there is a man singing with heart and "soul". I never get tired of that rendition. Thanks for posting!
