In March, the US Army announced it would remove the Confederate memorial in Arlington National Cemetery, as a result of the congressionally mandated Naming Commission, requiring United States Department of Defense to reconsider assets commemorating the Confederacy. But the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which was not subject to the mandate, maintains 34 other Confederate monuments in national cemeteries and soldier's lots reserved for U.S. veterans and their families. At Finn’s Point National Cemetery, in New Jersey, an 85-foot granite obelisk honoring the Confederate dead from the prison at nearby Fort Delaware dwarfs a nearby monument to Union soldiers. In Springfield National Cemetery, in Springfield, Missouri, a statue honoring Confederate soldiers reads, “Those who die for a right principle do not die in vain.” And in Chicago, not far from where thousands of Confederate soldiers died at Camp Douglas, their remains are marked by a 40-foot-tall statue of a Confederate soldier who peers out above the graves of prominent Black leaders buried in the adjoining cemetery, including the journalist and anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells, as well as Bishop Louis Henry Ford, who gave the eulogy at Emmett Till’s funeral. Four outward-pointing canons flank the base of the statue. “Confederate monuments are not consistent with VA’s commitment to serve all veterans with dignity and respect,” a VA spokesperson said in response to questions from The War Horse. “While VA maintains the Confederate gravesites and monuments in accordance with Federal law, we are considering all of our options.” Read our reporting from Randee Howard and Sonner Kehrt: https://lnkd.in/eTA33m5P #veteransaffairs #VA #cemetery #monuments #americanhistory #history #historygram #lostcausemythology #journalism #newsroom #thewarhorsenews

Honoring Memorial Day Respect and Reflection As we approach Memorial Day, it's important to remember that this day is not about self promotion or personal gain. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Here are some respectful ways to commemorate their memory without making it about ourselves: Attend a Memorial Service: Participate in a local ceremony or virtual event to show your respect, not to showcase your presence. Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects quietly by visiting a war memorial or a veteran's cemetery, without turning it into a photo opportunity. Support Gold Star Families: Offer genuine support to families who have lost loved ones in service, rather than using it as a platform for your own visibility. Educate Yourself and Others: Learn and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed, focusing on their bravery rather than your role in sharing the story. Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 p.m. local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance, not for show but out of genuine respect. Volunteer: Dedicate your time to veteran organizations or causes that support our service members and their families, keeping the focus on their needs rather than your contributions. This Memorial Day, let’s commit to reflection, gratitude, and truly honoring the memories of our fallen heroes. It's about their sacrifice, not our self-promotion. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #Gratitude #Respect

Honor a Veteran for Memorial Day On this Memorial Day, I am honoring my Uncle Romie who was a cook in the army. He was a Forest Ranger and dressed up as Smokey the Bear to do education programs for the local community. He would climb the fire tower and look for forest fires in the national forests. His fire tower was like the one in the photo. Uncle Romie looked for something to laugh about because he reported me to my Mom for hitting boys with my red purse on the playground in elementary school which was across the road from his fire tower. I know he saw this as a random act of kindness for the boys on the playground and for me, too. I did stop the behavior after my Mom explained this would limit my supply of purses. The biggest win you can have for your organization or business is to focus on what value your strategy creates for your customers, employees, and community. Like Uncle Romie, finding the good in things and the value you bring to others is one of the keys to developing your strategy. The value is in the eyes of the beholder. What can you start doing to communicate your value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What can you stop doing that does not add value to the person you are presenting to or serving? What new strategy can you create to honor a veteran in your community? What is a random act of kindness you can do today to honor a veteran in your life? #strategy #OwnYourValue #MemorialDay #RandomActofKindness Photo of a Fire Tower in East Texas.

10 Memorial Day facts about the history of the holiday. For many Americans, Memorial Day marks a fun-filled long weekend and the unofficial start of summer. However, Memorial Day was created for a much more solemn purpose: commemorating the U.S. military personnel who died serving our country. Dating back to the Civil War, the holiday was originally created around the practice of decorating the graves of fallen soldiers. In light of this meaningful history, it's important to remember the real reason for the holiday — rather than simply celebrating the extra day off work. As the story goes, in 1996, a group of children were asked what Memorial Day meant and responded, “That’s the day the pools open!” As a result, the Clinton administration created the National Moment of Remembrance in an effort to remind Americans of Memorial Day's significance. There are a multitude of ways to honor Memorial Day this year, from visiting monuments to creating flower bouquets. It's a great reminder to brush up on your knowledge of American history, too. Ahead of the holiday, learn more about Memorial Day with these important facts. https://lnkd.in/eAZSJa5Y
