Memorial Day — remembering all who died in pursuit of peace, justice, and freedom
Here 
in the United States, we celebrate the national holiday of Memorial day. Wrote former president Bill Clinton in a memo on the White House Program for the National Moment of Remembrance,
“Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and reverence, honoring those Americans who died while defending our Nation and its values. While we should honor these heroes every day for the profound contribution they have made to securing our Nation’s freedom, we should honor them especially on Memorial Day.”
Let us also remember those women and men who have pursued and died for peace, justice, and freedom. I think of people like Sister Dorothy Stang, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur who was killed because of her work with and on behalf of the people of Brazil; and Daniel Pearl, an American journalist writing for the Wall Street Journal who strove to build “bridges between diverse cultures” and who was kidnapped and killed by terrorists. I am also reminded of my own nun, Sister John Clement Hungerman, IHM, a remarkable woman and educator.
On this day of remembering, please add the names of others who have given their life and their death to the pursuit of peace, justice, and freedom … and then join us tonight for a litany of heroes and martyrs during our prayer podcast at 6 p.m. CST (your time zone).

I am remembering my amazing Pop-Pop Lawrence DiVietro who proudly served in the U.S. Army during WWII. He was such a caring man to me and will always be my hero!! God Bless all who have fought and passed and those who continue to serve!!

Let us remember the astronauts who didn’t make it back, and for their children that had to grow up without them. The teacher Christine, I think was her name, comes to mind and her daughter who begged her not to go.
