Summer Time is Here so let's get out! Yes, this weekend is Memorial Day. Don't forget to take time to realize the importance of this day and honor those who serve and have served. Here are a few ways to honor our fallen:
-Fly the flag at half-staff from dawn until noon, local time.
-Participate in a national “moment of remembrance,” which occurs at 3PM, Washington DC time.
-Place flags on the graves of war dead.
-Visit or volunteer at our local Cheyenne VA hospital
-Support your local Cheyenne area VFW – and remember, thank a veteran when you’re there!
-Donate your old cellphones to help our military stay in touch with loved ones at home - www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com
Alternately, you can donate calling cards for service members at Operation Uplink - www.operationuplink.org
-Let those who are currently serving know they’re appreciated; Operation USO Care Package lets you sponsor a gift box containing needed and requested items for a service member overseas - www.uso.org/donate/custom.aspx?id=565&
