Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It is a holiday to remember the many who have died in our nation's history while serving in the armed forces. In Boston, the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund planted 37,000 flags on a slope in the Boston Common at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Each flag represents a Massachusetts service member who gave his or her life all the way back to the Revolutionary War.

Whatever your personal politics, our way of life is worth defending - in the past, in the present, and in the future.
