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.
