Today is Memorial Day in the United States!
On Memorial Day we honor those who have died in active military service. And this year is extra special as it marks the 150th Memorial Day in Our History!
Name a United States National Cemetery or Monument and what country it is in, anywhere in the World. (You may even have one in your country!)
God Bless All Our Servicemen and Allies around the world! May you be safe and we thank you and your families for the sacrifices you make. Today we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice - Rest In Peace!

In 1948 the Australian-American Association proposed "to establish a Memorial in Canberra in the form of a monument or statue, to perpetuate the services and sacrifices of the United States forces in Australia and to symbolise Australian-American comradeship in arms". After an appeal for finances by then Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Robert Menzies, the Australian people subscribed more than the eventual cost of £100,000, then a vast sum of money for such a public memorial, indicating the gratitude of the nation. Additional memorials were constructed in Brisbane and Adelaide that used the surplus funds.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
LEST WE FORGET
In Australia Remembrance Day is held on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. I think in America it is called Veterans Day. ANZAC Day is held on the 25th April.

In memory of Harold Daniel William Phillips (my grandfather) & George Harold Philllips (my Dad). My thoughts go out to all the Military personel (past & present).
