As Memorial Day comes around, it's good to remember what the day is really about. It’s not just the start of summer or a time for big sales. This is a day to honor the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices are why we get to enjoy so many freedoms every day. So, how can we keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our everyday lives? It can be as simple as taking a quiet moment to think about those who gave their lives, doing something to help someone in need, or just saying thanks to someone who’s served. These little things mean a lot and help us keep their memories alive. Memorial Day also encourages us to be like those we're remembering—selfless and brave. We can do that by helping out in our community, standing up for what's right or making a move for our future that we were afraid to do. By living out these values, we honor their legacy and make a positive difference just like they did. Have a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day! #MemorialDay2024 #HonorAndRemember #CourageAndResilience #CommunityStrength #NeverForget #TheWorldChangers #ChangeYourFinancesChangeYourWorld #YouChangeTheWorldChanges

Important reminder for the upcoming holiday... 👉Memorial Day (last Monday of May) is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died during service to their country. 👉Veterans Day (November 11th) is the day set aside to thank and honor all who served honorably in the military; past and present, living and deceased. Note the difference and plan your social media posts appropriately. As GI Joe would say, "Now you know, and knowing is half the battle." 💯 Hot Take🔥 It's really not appropriate to say "Happy" Memorial Day. When you think about the true meaning of the day, it's more of a solemn note. #UnpopularOpinion . . . #SocialMedia #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy #SocialMediaManager #SmallBusinessOwner #DigitalMarketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediaguru #smallbusinesssupport #MemorialDay #VeteransDay #Philadelphia #Marketing #SocialMediaExpert #SocialMediaStrategist #BucksCountyPA #BucksCountyBusiness #DoylestownPA #WarringtonPA #ChalfontPA #NewtownPA #MontcoPA #MakeItMontco #HatboroPA #HorshamPA #PlymouthMeeting #AdmasCountyPA #FrederickMD #SocialMediaHelp

https://lnkd.in/gaF2d6N3 As we observe Memorial Day, this discussion of Christians serving in the military is very thought provoking: https://lnkd.in/gaF2d6N3

I recently ran across Cunliffe's Soldiers & Civilians. It has a pretty good discussion about the conflicts of between an amateur and professional approach to national defense. It is rare to see both arguments considered Captain Alden Partridge's theories presented. I think he misses the mark as I believe what an "amateur" represents may have been incorrectly applied in many cases. For example, is a part-time National Guard Soldier an amateur or a professional? If they are considered amateurs, why do Guard units often outperform Active Duty units. If these part-time National Guard are considered professionals, how are graduates of Norwich University (under the design of Captain Alden Partridge) not also considered professional? I think the amateur vs. professional argument is largely oversimplified and often misapplied. https://amzn.to/3RM9MWD #ad Norwich University #USMA #Militia #Army

Remembrance Day: The armistice that marked the end of the war was signed on November 11 at 11:00 a.m. in 1918, now commemorated annually as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day. Serves as a reflection on the sacrifices of past generations to ensure a world free from the devastation of unchecked conflict. Looking forward, it offers an opportunity for individuals and leaders alike to commit to actions that address contemporary threats with foresight and responsibility. The massive scale of loss and have led to November 11 being a day of reflection on the cost of war and a reminder of the importance of peace. Date and Duration: World War I began on July 28, 1914, and officially ended on November 11, 1918. Total Casualties: Approximately 20 million people died as a result of the war, which included both military and civilian deaths.
