Honoring a Global Memorial Day

How will you honor the fallen, the wounded, and the ones who have become disabled and their families this Memorial Day? Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Remembrance Day is celebrated in the United Kingdom (UK) on Nov 11 with Canada. Armistice Day is celebrated in France; other countries may have similar days for remembrance.

I listened to "Who's Helping Our Wounded Vets?" On PBS.

I personally have not been in a war, combat or other life threatening disputes. I can relate somewhat with the wife’s remarks in the first story about some telling her she should consider divorcing her husband, or even suggest terminating life support.

After I had unexpectedly and suddenly gone into a coma, with no signs of recovery, others suggested these same things to my wife. I can also relate how important caregivers are to recovery. How Scott’s wife was with her husband every day in the hospital caring and supporting him spiritually, emotionally and physically. When I first awoke from my coma 3 months later I would only react to my wife; not even the many doctors who tried to get me to respond.

We all need caring, compassion, family and friends when healing our hearts, souls and bodies. Let’s support each other!

How can we honor the fallen and their families ensuring that they are not and never will be, forgotten. Does anyone want to share a story? I personally am very grateful to the men and women who have the passion to risk their lives to attempt to make our lives better.

We all look forward to sharing a global Memorial Day together.
