Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.
Memorial Day 2008 also marked a rise in the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq, after two soldiers were killed and four wounded in two separate roadside bombings in the country earlier today. The latest death toll rose to 4,082 U.S. troops killed in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion.
Memorial Day is a day to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their life service to our country.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
-Moina Michael 1915
