This evening, May 29, 2016, I was able to attend the Second Baptist Church Memorial Day Service http://www.secondb.com/calendar-item/memorial-day-service-2/. It was an hour and 45 minutes, and it ended too soon. It was very moving. This is the 4th time this church has had such a service, and the second time I had the opportunity to attend. I was honored to attend.
The service included song, pledges, prayer, and testimonials. There was a collection for the Honor Flight https://www.honorflight.org/. There was the opportunity to thank the veterans and their families.
I came home and was able to watch the rerun of the PBS presentation of The National Memorial Day Concert http://www.pbs.org/national-memorial-day-concert/about/the-concert/. I am so glad that it is being rerun, because I wanted to watch it, but I wanted to go to the live service at Second Baptist. It was raining in Washington DC, so the crowd was smaller than usual, but as the hosts said, our military have served in worse conditions, so the show went on!
I am honored to participate in Memorial Day in this way!
