Top Ten Things Not to Do On Memorial Day

May 31, 2021 · by John W. Howell · in Ten Things Not to Do · 53 Comments

As I have written on past Memorial Days, all ten things not to do on this day are the same. Do not fail to remember those who gave their lives to keep us free.

I hope you have a peaceful and thoughtful Memorial Day.

It’s wonderful that people truly honor the day since, it’s so very poignant.

I love all the flags you posted. Old Glory never fails to stir something deep in me, knowing what she represents. Our freedom didn’t come cheap. I think of every man in every war we’ve ever fought with great reverence today. Thanks, as always.
