Some Americans observe Memorial Day and attend local ceremonies.
Some Americans watch national ceremonies on TV.
Some Americans only think about it being the first day of the summer season.
Some Americans think of mattress sales.
Some Americans don't even think about Memorial Day at all.
Some Americans Never Forget, for them every day is Memorial Day.
In honor of those men and women who gave their last full measure of devotion, I humbly offer this short video.
And to the 445 men of the 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized) whose names are engraved in the black marble of the Vietnam Memorial - Rest easy, my brothers. Big Al is keeping the faith and will re-join your ranks again, someday.
"Ten-Hut"
"Pree-Sent Arms!"
(the sound of Taps being played)
"Orr-Der Arms!"
