Memorial Day


On Memorial Day, we remember people who died in military service.  Many people also shop sales, go to the just-opened outdoor pools, and have barbecues or picnics.



The military plays this song ("taps") at bedtime and for military funerals.  The last line is "SAFELY REST."  This video was for a man named Bob.  Neath is not an English word -- it's short for beneath.

One of my students recommended the next video as a tribute to military families.

What are you doing today?

Can you describe a good picnic?  What makes a picnic really good?  Where are your favorite places to have a picnic?  I like Wilberdale playground, Lake Accotink, Burke Lake, and Great Falls for picnics near here.
