Memorial Day is Beautiful and Sublime

in Ladies of Hive10 months ago

It is common that Memorial Day is spent in the beach with family and loved ones or grilling out because it also marks the unofficial start of summer!


YUM!

Memorial Day began as Decoration Day, with towns around the country honoring those who perished in the Civil War. Women decorated the graves of slain troops in the 1860s

Congress passed the National Holiday Act of 1968, which changed the holiday from May 30th to the final Monday in May.

"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them."- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Americans visit local military cemeteries, where volunteers place American flags on the graves of military personnel. Some volunteer at various organizations or make a donation to a worthy cause.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy

I always spend a minute of silence to mourn and honor those who have died in our nation's many wars.


“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”- Ronald Reagan

Given the holiday's solemn tone, wishing someone a "Happy Memorial Day" could be considered insensitive.

5 years ago @silverd510 sent me a surprise gift:
A BEAUTIFUL ART BAR!

1 oz Sunshine Mint American Flag Silver Bar

On the obverse side is a depiction of the American flag as it sways in the breeze. The background field for the white stripes and the blue background field are finished in a matte silver. The 50 stars and red stripes have a deeply-mirrored finish to create a stunning contrast between the two fields.
The reverse side of the bar bears a mint mark for the Sunshine Mint, as well as the corporate logo, name, and the bars weight, purity, and metal content. The mintmark is a simple circle stamped in the middle that reads Mint Mark SI. Source


It is my first American flag silver bar and I treasure this beautiful gift!

Memorial day is a very important day @silversaver888!🤗
We all need to remember that our Country’s freedom was defended, and is still is defended, by brave Men and Women at a cost!
Freedom should not be taken for granted!😇

Yes, freedom should never be taken for granted.
"Americans may not only pay tribute to our honored dead but also unite in prayer for success in our search for a just and lasting peace." — John F. Kennedy, "Prayer for Peace," Memorial Day 1962

Very prophetic words from JFK..... I remember them announcing his assassination over the public address in early grade school........😳🙁

The last president we had who stood up to the “Agencies” They took him out.

Scary, but very true, my friend !😲

Happy memorial day to all of you. They are a good example for loving the country.

Sadly today there is no difference besides one having some minor collector value. But when it was first printed the bottom one was a receipt for real money that you could exchange 🪙 🪙🪙

Yes, we should remember those who have gone before us and paid the price for the freedom we now enjoy. We would not be as we are had they not won the battle!

A beautiful silver bar and very appropriate for the weekend! Thanks for sharing sis and have a lovely week ahead! Hugs and kisses!🤗😘💕🌸 !LADY

Most appropriate silver bar, indeed!
I don't know if I told you already that entire family is in the military. Each one of them is a veteran of war/s. They are all gone now.
So tomorrow, I'll be in the cemetery.
xoxox🤗😘

Yes, very nice that they all were in the armed forces. I wish I could be in the cemetery tomorrow, but my family is all buried in Ohio and here I am in Washington. One thing I do wish, is that I had the flag and the shells from my dad's funeral for the 21 gun salute. My brother took them and now he's been gone for 3 years. His wife had said she was going to send me a box of things from my mom, but alas, it has never arrived. (sigh)

Enjoy your memories and may you find peace in your visits. Take care sweet sis! Love ya much!🤗😘💕🌸

You're welcome

It’s sad but so many people just think it’s a random 3 day weekend. Sales at the retail outlets yay yay 😞

We are in a lost land…

Yes, how sad! I mean.... you don't have to lose someone in the war to know! Those of us, whose entire family is gone, all in the military...
How sad!

How beautiful it is to commemorate all those fallen heroes who gave their lives with honor and bravery 🤍❤️‍🩹💚

It is just appropriate, @casmar551 !
