I was very taken by a story in the Chicago Tribune today, Memorial Day. In the small town of Sullivan, Illinois, the people of this small town of 4,400, honor each of their residents that are serving abroad in the United States Armed Forces. For each person service they have a sign with their name, the unit they are serving with and an American flag. I am always happy to honor those who have served or are serving our country every Memorial Day, but I also feel remiss the other 364 days of the year when I am not giving these brave people the acknowledgement they desire for their time and service. The plan that the small town of Sullivan has in place helps everyone remember every day.
What do you think? Is this something we should consider doing in our home towns?
