Memorial Day, a United States Holiday

On the last Monday in May, once called “Decoration Day,” flags will fly half-mast till noon, then at full till dusk. The tune “Taps” will play and stir our pride. Honor is due those who died keeping freedom’s foes at bay. May, 28, 2022

Bravo! We need to be more mindful of the depth of sacrifice that was made for us; too many believe it is the 'kick off' to summer. I can hear the somber sound of "taps" in your poem. Thank you. :)Paulette
