    What a great lens. Thank you for all the wonderful ways you reminded us to remember Memorial Day. I loved finding out where the poppy flowers idea came from. We support them, and wear the flower. So many great people to thank for our lives today. Thanks for covering the bases. Singing songs of remembrance. Ray Charles version still gives me goosebumps.

    When soldiers get paid as much as football and rock stars, then things will make more sense. Great lens. Thank you.
  • KimGiancaterino May 28, 2012 @ 3:10 pm | delete
    I'm happy this was chosen as LOTD. Thank you for honoring our brave soldiers.

    We're flying our flag and thinking of the families of our sons' friends who didn't come back with the rest from their tours in Iraq. So thankful for all who have served and those who have paid the ultimate price. (Congratulations on this very special Lens of the Day!)

    nice lens :)
  • bossypants May 28, 2012 @ 10:32 am | delete
    Thank you for the reminder that this is about more than barbeques and picnics. Almost everyone knows of someone who served his or her country and they deserve this remembrance.

    Congratulations on LoTD. Well deserved!

    I remember selling poppies on Memorial Day week-end when I was a kid. Congratulations on LotD! Happy Memorial Day.

    I took my children out to DFW National Cemetery to visit my dad's grave and pay respect to all the others laid to rest there. We had the opportunity to thank a wheel-chair bound WWII vet and it was the highlight of our day.
    Today we will celebrate by the pool with family and friends and observe the moment of silence at 3pm.

  • joannalynn May 26, 2012 @ 1:59 pm | delete
    A great lens of the history of Memorial Day and a tribute to the day and the people who serve our country. My 16-year old (Colton) plans to join the Army next year, and it is all he has talked about since elementary school. A former student of mine (Justin) is in the Army, now the Reserves, and he had such an impact on Colton that he made this decision in 4th grade. Justin came to visit Colton's school for Veteran's Day and it changed the path of my son's life. He still communicates with Justin on Facebook. We watched a youtube video yesterday that was made a couple of weeks ago to honour the soldiers lost in the Iraqi and Afghanistan conflicts. It is very touching, although most of them move me.

    Very nice lens here. I think it's wonderful that you wrote a lens to remember the fallen troops on Memorial Day. My grandpa was one of these veterans and I buy poppies and visit his cemetery every year to help pay my respects. Nicely done.
  • survivoryea May 21, 2012 @ 10:00 am | delete
    Difficult and proud day in my family. Used to go to Arlington for the memorial service now I go to a local service and try to do good for a service organization. Very nice lens.

    I did not realize the red poppy was a symbol for remembering on Memorial Day. I enjoyed your lens and learned something at the same time.

    Back again to this very important lens to leave you a blessing and to let you know that it is featured on my lens about the book Kimberly's Flight.

    Amazing lens, and it's well deserving of the purple star! Congrats! Thanks for all the resources and information. This is such a thorough lens, with info of the poppy, the National Moment of Remembrance, and the National Memorial Day concert (to name just a few highlights).

    A very nice tribute to our fallen servicemen and women. Lensrolling to my Freedom Fest lens.
  • Lori_Lee-Ray May 1, 2009 @ 12:58 am | delete
    I celebrate by praying for the fallen heroes families. I don't do a barbecue or have a party. I believe it should be a day of reverance. I'm thankful that I'm free, but not at the price of someone else's child. It's hard to "celebrate" that. :) My daddy raised me to always say thank you to a man in a service uniform. And 40 years later, I'm still thanking them. This is a very good lense. I loved it. I added it as a discovery on my HonorOurHeroes lense. Thank you for making it. God bless you.
