The very first day of the month is 1 May. That day is known as Loyalty Day. This is a day that was started to counter the old Soviet Union who held their May Day celebrations on 1 May. This day has ancient origins in Europe and it is generally thought of as the beginning of Summer. It falls about halfway between the Spring and the Fall Solstice.
You need to really remember Sunday, 12 May. It is Mother’s Day. Do not forget this very important day. Go buy a card and some flowers.
Armed Forces Day is on Saturday, 18 May. It is a day to remember the Armed Forces of our country, especially those branches of the service that people served in. It honors those who are serving and those who have served.
At the end of the month is a very important day that we should always remember. Memorial Day. It is observed on the last Monday of the month (May 31). This day is not one to have a picnic or to go to the beach. It is a day to remember and honor those members of the Armed Service who have given their lives in the service of their country. Go to a local cemetery and place a flower or a small flag on the grave of a departed veteran. Take your family with you. Always remember these departed veterans…
