Memorial Day is one of the most important days we recognize as citizens of the United States of America. This quote by Harry S. Truman helps us understand that it is our duty to reflect on and express our gratitude for the service of those who have fought to protect our rights and freedoms. Many individuals have given their lives to enshrine the daily comforts and feelings of happiness we are able to enjoy, and we should never take this for granted. Originally, this day celebrated the end of the Civil War, but it now acts as a solemn reminder of all that we have fought for as a nation throughout our proud history: freedom, liberty, democracy, and fairness. Pausing regular life to remember the sacrifices of those who came before and celebrating all that we have yet to do as a great nation is one small way to show our understanding of the complex and painful histories we represent as a nation. When so much of the world is experiencing so much grief, we owe it to ourselves to reflect on our own past and all that we have worked together to protect and provide for the citizens of the United States. This Memorial Day, as we enjoy the beginning of summer, let us also solemnly consider our ongoing responsibility to uphold and fight for those values that comprise this beautiful country: freedom, fairness, and equality for all. #memorialday #freedom #equalityforall

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his Emancipation Proclamation, proclaiming the end of chattel slavery in the United States. In practice, however, slavery continued to be practiced throughout the Confederacy as the American Civil War waged on. Actual emancipation largely relied on the advance of the Union Army to enforce the proclamation. Over two years later, Union Army General Gordon Granger and his troops advanced on Texas, the last stronghold of institutional slavery in the United States. On June 19th, 1865, General Granger issued General Order No. 3, informing the people of Texas that all slaves were to be immediately set free. The enforcement of this order officially marked the end of slavery in the United States, and this event is commemorated by the holiday Juneteenth. Today, 157 years later, we celebrate Juneteenth as a defining moment in American History. While it marks the end of slavery in the United States, Black Americans still face systemic discrimination, racism, and injustice in many aspects of daily life. Juneteenth reminds us of the urgent need for justice and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. JLD is proud to celebrate Juneteenth and to continue to promote these ideals in our practice. #Juneteenth #AmericanHistory #FreedomDay #BlackHistory #CelebrateFreedom #JusticeForAll #JLDProud #CommemorateJuneteenth #JLDCostConsulting

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate Flag Day, a special day to honor the symbol of our nation's unity and freedom—the American flag. 🌟 Civics Lesson of the Day: Flag Etiquette and Lesser-Known Facts The American flag, also known as "Old Glory," represents the values and history of our country. Here are some lesser-known facts and important etiquette about our flag: Lesser-Known Facts: 1. Flag Code: The United States Flag Code, established in 1923, provides guidelines on how to display and handle the flag. It’s a set of rules to ensure the flag is treated with the respect it deserves. 2. Never at Half-Mast by Mistake: The flag is only flown at half-mast by specific orders, usually by the President or a state governor, to honor and remember the sacrifices of our nation's heroes. 3. No Flag Higher: When displayed with other flags, the American flag should always be at the highest point or to the flag's own right (the observer’s left). 4. Proper Disposal: When a flag is worn and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a respectful manner, typically by burning in a dignified ceremony. Did You Know? 1. Folding the Flag: There is a specific way to fold the American flag into a triangular shape, which symbolizes the hats worn by colonial soldiers during the American Revolution. 2. The Flag’s Birthplace: The first American flag was commissioned by the Continental Congress and crafted by Betsy Ross, a seamstress in Philadelphia. 3. National Anthem Connection: The Star-Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key, was inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry after a battle during the War of 1812. Let's come together to honor our flag and reflect on the principles it stands for.
