Memorial Day ~ a 3rd graders essay


Such a touching tribute written by a 3rd Grade student, Academy Elementary School, Madison, CT

As the flowers rest on the decorated graves and the sunlight shines on the beautiful sailboats, Uncle Sam whispers in my ear about how we should care for the soldiers and remember the ones that have died.
Swimming pools open, BBQs fry. Today is the day to think of what they have done for us. There are blurs of red, white and blue marching down the street and flags are lowered at half-mast.
But we should always remember and never forget what set us free, from this very day on.
author ~ Ali M.


Remembering always ~ but on this day especially ~ those brave men and women in the Military, Police and Firefighters too, who gave the ultimate sacrifice defending America and her People. And keep in our prayers the family and loved ones who miss them every day.
Enjoy a thoughtful and safe Memorial Day

    That is beautiful Lynn. I hope you are having a safe and happy weekend. My husband and I are both from military families. My husband proudly served 30 years in the Air Force and those were the greatest days of our lives. Remembering all who have come before and will come in the future is very important to our freedom. God Bless America and Thankyou to all who have served our great nation with pride, Char
