🇺🇸 A Memorial Day Reminder 🇺🇸

As parades, ceremonies, and moments of remembrance take place across our nation, let us remember what this day truly asks of us.

When the American Flag 🇺🇸 passes by, please stand. Remove your hat. Place your right hand over your heart. Pause your conversations. Veterans may render a hand salute.

These small acts matter.

They teach our children that the flag is not just fabric — it carries the memory of those who served, sacrificed, and never returned home.

Memorial Day is not simply the start of summer. It is a solemn day of remembrance for the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

At Taps for Veterans, we honor that promise through 24 notes — sounded live, with dignity, reverence, and gratitude.

May we never forget.

24 Notes. One Final Promise.

Attention veterans and family members of veterans! Please consider joining The American Legion Family. Gladwin County American Legion Post 171, Gladwin County American Legion Auxiliary Unit 171, and Sons of the American Legion and welcoming new members to help keep important programs like this ongoing. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

One day, this could be what a military funeral looks like.

No volunteers.
No rifle salute.
No sounding of Taps.
No flag presentation delivered by someone who understands the weight of that moment because they once wore the uniform themselves.

Across the country, veteran honor guards are facing a serious decline in membership. Many of the men and women who have faithfully carried out these final military rites for decades are aging, while fewer new volunteers are stepping forward to take their place.

If nothing changes, the traditions that have honored our nation’s heroes for generations could begin to disappear.

At Operation Honor Guard, we are working to support honor guards, raise awareness, recruit new members, and help ensure every eligible veteran continues to receive the dignified farewell they earned through service to our country.

Because no veteran should leave this world without honor.

It is a simulation of representation. What would American democracy look like in the hands of teenaged girls? The new documentary, Girls State, takes us inside the experiment of building a government from the ground up. The program here in Michigan is currently recruiting girls wrapping up the 11th....
