Memorial Day

Memorial Day. My grandmother, like most of her generation as well as the prior one, used to refer to it as “Decoration Day” because it was the day to go to the cemetery and put flowers on the graves of military veterans, and others who had passed. The present name was ensconced when it became an official holiday. The protocol is to fly your flag half-staff until noon, then raise it.

There are plenty of articles, columns, speeches, and so forth published today. I can’t add much, if anything. Here is a cartoon that says it all.

My day job is assisting individuals and small businesses as a lawyer. I taught real estate law and American history in the Dallas County Community College system. I have owned and operated private security firms and was a police officer and criminal investigator for the Dallas Police Department.

I am interested in history and historical research, music, cycling, and British mysteries and police dramas.

I welcome comments, positive, negative, or neutral, if they are respectful.
