    Default Remembering Memorial Day

    For too many the importance of Memorial Day is lost in the ballgames, cookouts and fishing trips. But without the sacrifice of those who put on our country's uniform and gave their lives for the cause of freedom none of these and many other liberties we take for granted would be possible.

    If you have a flagpole or work some where that does, proper flag protocol is to raise the flag to the peak of the pole and then lower it to half staff until noon, at which time it should be raised to full height. I had an old boss who emphasized that to our hotels each year.

    Below is a photo from Duluth, GA. They line many of their streets in this manner at Memorial Day and Independence Day.
