Veterans for Peace, Miami-Dade Chapter and Democracy for America Miami-Dade (DFAM), want to remind you that there is a war going on! They have put up 1000 memorial headstones between 10th & 11th Street on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach to represent the 2,513 American soldiers who have died in Iraq as of yesterday.

Memorial Day, also called Decoration Day, is a patriotic holiday in the United States. It is a day to honor Americans who gave their lives for their country. Originally, Memorial Day honored military personnel who died in the Civil War (1861-1865). The holiday now also honors those who died in any war while serving the United States.
Memorial Day is a day for remembering those who have laid their lives in the nation's service. Here are some ways to celebrate the patriotic spirit of this day:
1. Donate to families of soldiers who are wounded or have lost their lives.
2. Observe the National Moment of Remembrance. The Moment occurs on Memorial Day, 3 PM, local time, for 1 minute. You can choose to observe this moment in any way you like. It is the sentiment that counts.
3. Visit a grave site and offer flowers to those U.S. Troops who have died in the nation's service.
4. Support a local Memorial day event in your community.
5. Teach small children the importance of this holiday!
6. Donate your time to a Veteran that may need some help ie: mowing lawns or helping with projects around the house.
7. Visit a Veterans Hospital and spread some good cheer!
8. THANK A VET! Write a card of thanks to your local veterans org. Vets for Peace and VFW's are a some good examples! You could always send a care package to the troops! (They LOVE getting mail)
9. Wear patriotic gear! Wear a shirt that shows you support our troops! Even better one that says bring them home NOW!!!
10. Hang an American Flag
Support the Troops
