Carney Veterans Memorial

HOW TO OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY

• By visiting memorials
• By visiting cemeteries and placing flags and flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes
• By flying the U.S. Flag at half staff until noon and by flying the POW/MIA Flags as well
• By participating in a "National Moment of Remembrance" at 3 PM to pause and think upon the true meaning of the day and for Taps to be played
• By pledging to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our fallen soldiers, and to aid the disabled veterans

"...gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime let  us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those  whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation's gratitude the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan..."
                                                                                                                ~General John Logan, General Order No.11, 5 May 1868

"...We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a luster to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields...."
