Memorial Day Weekend

When I drove into my town Friday afternoon, there was a big sign in out little square that said "Memorial Day Observance" hanging over the fountain and covering the Northampton Township plaque that is positioned there. Although I stayed home on Monday, I do remember that last year they had a bunch of people who were affected by any war, gather there and remember the wars and all the good people that died or were injured. I assume they did the same thing this year. When I was leaving early Monday evening, the sign was gone. I remember in high school we usually had a Memorial Day assembly on the Friday before where war veterans came and spoke to us, and some that even went to the high school years earlier. I think the fact that my town does such things shows a great deal of patriotism and respect for the country and veterans of war.
