As your students return from the holiday weekend's taste of summer, turn on the computers to remind them what Memorial Day is really all about.
Many web sites can heighten student awareness of American war history and veterans issues.
The site also includes very detailed information on the 19th Century origins of Memorial Day. Students can send these cards to veterans groups or their relatives. The posts in the In Memory Of forum offer stark answers to student curiosities about war. I carry with me everyday the few memories I still have and cherish of you. When the wind blows and gently touches my face, I remember our last day together flying a kite on that windy day in the park.
