Memorial Day – A Reflection

Thanks to those who showed up to say thanks to the veterans who we remember for their sacrifices in our wars.

Here’s where the Memorial Day Parade started on Constitution Avenue, NW.

TAPS is the national nonprofit organization providing compassionate care and comprehensive resources to all those grieving a death in the military or veteran community.

“PTSD Pulling for Veterans” refers to a non-profit organization, Pulling for Veterans, which uses trailers to raise awareness about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in veterans. They offer low-cost trailer rentals for educational purposes, serving as “rolling billboards” to educate the public about PTSD and its impact on veterans.

Here’s a video of the sounding of Taps at the National Native American Veterans Memorial following the laying of a wreath on Monday afternoon.  The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) hosted a ceremony to recognize the contributions of Native veterans.  American Indians and Alaska Natives enlist in the U.S. military at the highest rates per capita of any group in the nation.
