From Brother Roo…🙏🏼😔🫡🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫵 We veterans do take this very seriously: Here's some ground rules for this weekend: 1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial Day! There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying. 2. It's not a holiday, it's a remembrance. 3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA or local Veterans Cemetery. 4. Don't talk to me how great any one political power is. Talk to me about Eugene Ashley, Brian Bucher, Nate Chapman, John Levitow, Jon Mills, Mitch Nelson, Chris Kyle, Neil Roberts, John Chapman, Robert Miller and countless other of our Special Forces heroes too numerous to name who made the ultimate sacrifice. Attend a Bell Ceremony, Roll Call or any other type and shed some tears. 5. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about, I have carried the burden all too many times for Warriors who now stand their post with God. 6. Remember the Fallen for all the Good they did while they were here. 7. Reach out and let a Vet know you're there, we're losing too many in "peace". One more thing, as a Veteran, when you come together, when you have that BBQ, before you eat, circle up and say a prayer. Raise a glass to your Brothers and Sisters that are gone. Then you don't say a word. After that, eat and enjoy each others company.

Memorial Day, from the perspective of a veteran, is a solemn day of remembrance and honor. It’s a day to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have fallen in the line of duty, protecting the freedoms and values we hold dear. For veterans who have experienced the realities of war firsthand, Memorial Day carries a profound significance that goes beyond the typical celebrations and gatherings. It’s a day marked by memories of comrades who never made it home, whose laughter and courage are remembered in the quiet moments of a veteran’s heart. It’s a time to think about the families left behind, the empty seats at dinner tables, and the personal stories of bravery that ended too soon. Veterans understand the weight of loss and the price of freedom in a way that is deeply personal and often painful. Memorial Day is not about the living; it’s about honoring those who have given their lives for something greater than themselves. It’s about the men and women buried in cemeteries across the nation, who were more than just soldiers; they were loved ones, friends, and family. For veterans, the day may also bring a mix of emotions, including pride in their service and a sense of camaraderie with those who understand the cost of war. Yet, it can also be a challenging time, as the focus on military service and sacrifices can trigger memories and emotions related to their own experiences. As a nation, we can honor the true meaning of Memorial Day by participating in commemorative activities, observing moments of silence, and supporting organizations that provide resources and support to veterans and their families. It’s a day to ensure that the legacy of the fallen is not forgotten but is carried forward with respect and gratitude for the freedoms their sacrifices have secured.

That is an insightful history lesson.

Honoring Our Fallen Heroes: Memorial Day and Beyond As Memorial Day approaches, I want to highlight the often-overlooked stories behind the names we see on bridges, highways, and cemeteries. These are the names of our fallen veterans, and their stories are fading as the last survivors of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam pass on. My own ancestors served, and I grew up hearing incredible stories of bravery and sacrifice. It's a source of regret that I didn't preserve their words more carefully. We're losing precious first-hand accounts with every passing day. The recent news about the Francis Scott Key Bridge reminded me how little the younger generations may know about America’s past. Let's change that! This May, I'll be sharing stories of some of the places dedicated to fallen veterans. I hope this will inspire others to learn the history behind these names. Is there a national map or resource listing veteran-named highways and bridges? If you know of one, please share! May 2/31 Next time you're on US Highway 12, remember the sacrifices of the Iron Brigade! This Civil War unit, known for its black hats and bravery, suffered heavy losses at battles like Gettysburg. This portion of the highway is also dedicated to such battles as Second Bull Run and Antietam. I was fortunate enough to serve alongside USS Antietam (CG 54), third in name, for four deployments. Learning the history of the Battle of Antietam is well worth the read/viewing (in comments) for those who do not know of this historic battle. While the battle took place in Maryland, there are dedications to those that died in battle all along US Highway 12. Look for historical markers in WI, MI, & IN commemorating these soldiers. #IronBrigade #USHistory #RoadTrip #CivilWarBattlefield #NeverForget #Maryland #lestweforget #veterans #heroes #memorialday

Today is the last Monday in May, which means its Memorial Day, the Federal holiday for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The total number of military personnel deaths in our nation's history (dating back to the Revolutionary War) is estimated at 1,354,664. Not included in the number of deaths is the number of wounded which totals 1,498,240 persons in our history. The thing is, these are statistics, and we're inundated with statistics these days, especially here on social media. (e.g., the post that celebrates "I just crossed 10k followers.") When it comes to the military, less than 1% of the population serves in active duty these days, so most are even more disconnected from the women and men who defend this country and our awesome way of life. The reality is that there's a person associated with each "1" that comprises the number of military deaths (and wounded). If you want to develop a better appreciation for the number of "1s," visit one of the National Cemeteries (such as Arlington) or monuments (like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.). Because my father served in the Army, our family makes it a habit to visit these haloed places where actual names appear (and statistics disappear). One of the cemeteries that moved me the most was the rows of gravesites in Normandy, France at the site of the D-Day landings (June 6, 1944). 4,415 Allied soldiers died on the first day of that WWII invasion. On each cross, there is a name, a military rank and unit, a hometown and the date of the person's death. For me, seeing a name is very different than reading a stat. Memorial Day is often considered the first day of summer (if you're from the Northeast), or day of awesome sales at your local retailer, instead of what it really is, A day of mourning. A day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Pic: Graves at Normandy Beach in France. ______________________ I'm Marc Cabrera, a Wall Street deal maker and private investor.

📣 Dear fellow Marketers: here's your annual reminder ⚠ Refrain from posting: "Happy Memorial Day" with images of Americans having a BBQ on your company's social media accounts. 👎 We must remind ourselves that Memorial Day is a national holiday to honor soldiers who died while serving in the military. 🎖 There's nothing "happy" about those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. We will forever be in their debt. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #SocialMedia #Creators #DigitalMarketing
