Help! The Dog Ate My Ice Cream ~ Thoughts on Memorial Day

Written by Candyce Fulford


I rememberrepparttar Memorial Day celebrations from my childhood. This wasrepparttar 111620 day that signaledrepparttar 111621 beginning of summer! Asrepparttar 111622 parents grumbled about us being out of school for so long, we kids were planning games like "Kick-The-Can" marathons well intorepparttar 111623 night hours. But first, we had to get that dreaded 'parade' over with!

You knowrepparttar 111624 parade I mean. That Memorial Day parade, where we had to stand for what seemed like HOURS inrepparttar 111625 hot sun all dressed in our clean and pressed Girl Scout uniforms, while some unknown dignitary spoke volumes about unknown soldiers and fallen comrades. How boring it all was to a ten-year-old girl. And, what did all of that have to do with me?

Inrepparttar 111626 wake of September 11th, (2001), I see evidence every day that brings to life that unknown dignitary's words. It may berepparttar 111627 bravery I see inrepparttar 111628 faces of those who now face disaster, as they enter burning and crumbling buildings. It may berepparttar 111629 pride I feel when I see my young granddaughter rise and place her hand over her heart whenever and where ever she hears "The Star Spangled Banner" being played. Memorial Day now holds such a different definition.

We are living in a changed world, and it took a great shock to our nation for us to realize just how changed it has become. Patriotism has been reborn! In our small New Hampshire town, every pick-up truck worth its name flies 'Old Glory'. It is no longer considered 'corny' to stop and be silent asrepparttar 111630 National Anthem is being played at sporting events. Evenrepparttar 111631 high school senior class has changed its class colors to red, white and blue.
