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

🌟 Exploring the Roots of Memorial Day with African Americans 🌟 As we reflect on the origins of Memorial Day, it is crucial to recognize the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans in shaping this solemn occasion. Following the Civil War, formerly enslaved individuals, known as Freedmen, played a pivotal role in commemorating fallen Union soldiers by decorating their graves. This act of remembrance evolved into what we now observe as Memorial Day, a day to honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. 🌺 Armed Forces Day, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day: Unveiling the Differences 🌺 🔹 Armed Forces Day: Celebrated on the third Saturday in May, Armed Forces Day pays tribute to the men and women currently serving in the United States Armed Forces, showcasing their dedication and bravery in safeguarding our nation. 🔹 Veterans Day: Observed on November 11th, Veterans Day honors all military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, expressing gratitude for their service, sacrifices, and contributions to our country's freedom. 🔹 Memorial Day: Held on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day solemnly commemorates the brave individuals who died while serving in the U.S. military. It is a day of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude for their selfless devotion to our nation. Let us embrace the rich history and significance of these observances, cherishing the diverse narratives and sacrifices that have shaped our nation's legacy. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #AfricanAmericanHistory #HonoringHeroes #Veterans #ArmedForces #NeverForget #Respect #usa #Remember #everyonefollowers #everyonehighlights #holiday #blackhistory #americanhistory #highlightseveryone

An event that is greatly appreciated and honored by Americans of subsequent generations for the sacrifices and bravery of the "Exceptional Generation" of WWII veterans of whom very few remain alive today. My only regret is that the contributions and sacrifices of the Red Army go largely ignored in the annual D-Day celebrations, when in fact were it not for Russian advances on the Eastern Front, D-Day could never have taken place when it did. The Soviets probably killed The Soviets killed probably 2,8 million German (born) soldiers and German auxiliary troops in battle or died of their wounds, helped by their allies like Polish, Rumanian and Bulgarian troops. Another 1.1 million German born soldiers died in Soviet custody (50% during the war and 50% after the war). Estimates of Russians killed by Germans range in the millions- some say as high as 20 million died fighting the Wehrmacht and driving them back to Poland and eventually to Berlin. No Western leader has ever attended a Russian Victory Day celebration and no Russian leader has ever been invited to a D-Day commemoration.
Exactly 80 years ago, more than 150,000 Allied troops launched Operation Overlord, the massive invasion of Normandy that would turn the tide of World War II. Starting today at 6:30 a.m. CT, The National WWII Museum will commemorate the anniversary of D-Day with a full slate of events on our campus. Watch select events here: https://bit.ly/48P6WX0 #DDay80

THEY ARE IGNORING THIS THIS IS THE POLICY OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. THE HYBRID NATION JUST PASSED A LAW TO STOP UNWRA, AND THEY HAVE MANIFESTLY FAILED TO PROTECT THE CIVILIAN POPULATIONS OF THE GAZA STRIP AND WEST BANK. IN FACT THEY ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE. THIS LAW OR UN EDICT (R2P) SHOULD BE ACTED UPON WITH HASTE IF THE UN HAS ANY TEETH LEFT AFTER THE HYBRID NATION KICKED THEM OUT WITH THE BLIND LOYALTY OF THE USA AND THE UK. THERE MUST BE A LEGAL EAGLE THAT COULD EMBARASS THESE NATIONS THAT ARE HAPPY TO PRETEND AND"IGNORE THE R2P" Box 2 - The Responsibility to Protect At the UN World Summit in September 2005, Heads of State and Government of all UN member States signed up to the 'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P). This concept recognises that States are primarily responsible for protecting their own populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. The international community should help them to exercise their responsibility and use peaceful means to promote protection, but if peaceful means are inadequate and national authorities are manifestly failing to protect their populations, collective action can be authorised by the UN Security Council.reak,
"We must remember those who will never see that smile again." Minister for Veterans and People, Alistair Carns, honoured the vital contributions of those who gave their lives for our freedom.
