THE BATTLEFIELD CROSS -

▪️The rifle is affixed with a bayonet and inverted, signifying that the Soldier went down fighting.
▪️The boots signify the Soldier’s last march onto the battlefield.
▪️Dog tags are imprinted with the Soldier’s name and hung from the rifle so their identity will never be forgotten.
▪️The helmet is placed atop the rifle representing what the Soldier stood for and signifying that their battle is now over.

The Battlefield Cross is a sacred symbol amongst military members. Since a funeral is typically not possible during wartime, these symbols serve as a rallying point where surviving members of a unit can mourn and remember their fallen comrades.

This Memorial Day, reach out to the Veterans that you know and give them a simple message: “We Remember.” We remember our country’s fallen, your brothers and sisters, and we appreciate and honor their sacrifice.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Originally called Decoration Day, an act of Congress, in 1968, changed Memorial Day from every May 30th to the last Monday in May, effective in 1971.

This weekend, a long weekend, is the unofficial start of summer, with family gatherings, BBQ's, mini vacations, and sales or discounts on just about everything.

The end of the 3-day weekend is Memorial Day, a day to remember and honor those that died in combat, protecting the very freedoms we so enjoy today.

We hope you are enjoying your weekend, and only ask that you take a moment to remember, honor, and thank those that gave their ALL.

The members of Sgt. Jeffery S. Mersman Memorial VFW Post 6397
and Auxiliary remember and honor Sgt. Mersman, our Post's namesake.
