Marco and Polo Remember...

Hello everyone,
   We hope you are all enjoying your long weekend from school.  While we are enjoying our weekend we thought it would be important to honor the reason why we are enjoying the time off from school.  For our non-American readers, today is Memorial Day in the US.  Memorial day is celebrated on the last Monday in May (i.e. today), and is celebrated in honour of all of the men and women who have fallen in the fight for the freedom of the United States and her citizens.  Although it may seem so, today is not National Barbecue Day. But what better way to spend free time with family and friends.  Cause while there are parades, flags hung at half-staff and people visiting national cemeteries and war monuments it doesn't seem enough for the people who have given their lives for our right to live freely.  I remember as a child only thinking of this day as a get-out-of-school-free card I now consider it under a different light, so this year, today I plan on recognizing this day and the men and women it honours by participated in the 'National Moment of Remembrance' taking a few minutes at 3 o'clock to sit in silence and thank God for all the people who have fallen in the line of duty and pray for those that continue to fight today.

 So enjoy your barbecues today, just take a moment and remember those men and women who have fought and who fight now for your freedom to enjoy your life as an American.

Remember, and stay nerdy.
