1 Patriotism-An American Tradition MEMORIAL DAY TEMPLATE Event Time: School: Duration of Presentation: Thank you for volunteering to share your story and help educate our Next Generation of young student leaders about American Patriotism and Service. We hope this template will help you as you prepare your presentation. It outlines a few administrative aspects to keep in mind as security at all schools has heightened since The template will also touch on what we call the Educational Value to the Student of the Patriotism-An American Tradition program, as well as a Call to Action. We appreciate you weaving some of these Value-Ad aspects into your presentation as it will help to educate your audience about why we as a country celebrate Memorial Day. It will also help Connectthe-Dots on how each child can like you -- help make our nation stronger through the promotion of selfless acts of service. As an example: - What is your calling? ADMIN: -- Is it volunteering to help deliver meals to the old and infirm? -- Is it mowing the lawn of someone who is disabled down the street? -- Whether you feel a specific calling today or not -- please remember to do your part -- to selflessly serve others. 1) Arrival: Please arrive at the school a half hour prior to the event to check in at the front office. The office will notify the event s POC of the veteran s arrival. This person will guide the veteran throughout his/her time at the school. 2) 60-second introduction: Veterans should provide their POC with a brief 60-second introduction (2 paragraphs), which can be used to introduce the veteran to the audience. 3) A/V: If you will be needing any special Audio-Visual equipment (i.e., computer with PowerPoint, Projector, Overhead Projector, etc.), please be sure to contact your POC for the event and coordinate with them at least two days prior for the support. EDUCATIONAL VALUE TO THE STUDENT:
2 1) History of Memorial Day: (Please try to weave at least three of the following historical points into your presentation) - It was 1866 and the United States was recovering from the long and bloody Civil War between the North and the South. -- Surviving soldiers came home, some with missing limbs, and all with stories to tell. -- Henry Welles, a drugstore owner in Waterloo, New York, heard the stories and had an idea. He suggested that all the shops in town close for one day to honor the soldiers who were killed in the Civil War and were buried in the Waterloo cemetery. -- On the morning of May 5, the townspeople placed flowers, wreaths and crosses on the graves of the Northern soldiers in the cemetery. -- At about the same time, Retired Major General Jonathan A. Logan planned another ceremony, this time for the soldiers who survived the war. He led the veterans through town to the cemetery to decorate their comrades' graves with flags. -- It was not a happy celebration, but a memorial. The townspeople called it Decoration Day. - In Retired Major General Logan's proclamation of Memorial Day, he declared: "The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country and during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit." - The two ceremonies were joined in 1868, and northern states commemorated the day on May 30. The southern states commemorated their war dead on different days. -- Children read poems and sang civil war songs and veterans came to school wearing their medals and uniforms to tell students about the Civil War. -- Then the veterans marched through their home towns followed by the townspeople to the cemetery. They decorated graves and took photographs of soldiers next to American flags. -- Rifles were shot in the air as a salute to the northern soldiers who had given their lives to keep the United States together. - In 1882, the name was changed to Memorial Day and soldiers who had died in previous wars were honored as well. -- In the northern United States, it was designated a public holiday. In 1971, along with other holidays, President Richard Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday on the last Monday in May. - Cities all around the United States hold their own ceremonies on the last Monday in May to pay respect to the men and women who have died in wars or in the service of their country. - Memorial Day is not limited to honor only those Americans from the armed forces.
3 -- It is also a day for personal remembrance. -- Families and individuals honor the memories of their loved ones who have died. -- Church services, visits to the cemetery, flowers on graves or even silent tribute mark the day with dignity and solemnity. It is a day of reflection. - In Waterloo, New York, the origin has not been lost and in fact the meaning has become even more special. -- President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed Waterloo the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1966, 100 years after the first commemoration. -- Every May 30, townspeople still walk to the cemeteries and hold memorial services. -- They decorate the graves with flags and flowers. -- Then they walk back to the park in the middle of town. -- In the middle of the park, near a monument dedicated to soldiers, sailors and marines, the Gettysburg address is read, followed by Retired Major General Logan's Order # 11 designating Decoration Day. -- The village choirs sing patriotic songs. In the evening, school children take part in a parade. - Each year, one of the largest tributes to America s war dead takes place at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, which is our nation's largest national cemetery. -- Not only are members of the armed forces buried here; astronauts, explorers and other distinguished Americans have all been honored with a special place here. -- President John F. Kennedy, a World War II veteran, is buried in a spot overlooking Washington, D.C. - Here in the early hours of the Friday morning before Memorial Day, soldiers of the Third U.S. infantry walk along the rows of headstones. -- Each soldier stops at a headstone, reaches to a bundle of flags he is carrying, pulls one out and pushes it into the ground. -- These soldiers are part of a special regiment -- the Old Guard. -- Most consider it a privilege to place flags on the more than two hundred thousand graves of soldiers who served in the wars or who died in them. "They have done their job," said one soldier, "and now it's my turn to do mine." - It is an equal honor to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier all year. -- There are actually four soldiers buried in this spot: the unknown soldiers of the two World Wars, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam War. -- Each soldier represents all of those who gave their lives in the modern wars. -- Soldiers from the Army's Third Infantry guard the tomb twenty-four hours a day. -- Wreath-laying ceremonies take place all through the year and people from all over the world come to watch the changing of the guard. -- On another hill of Arlington Cemetery there is a mass grave of unidentified soldiers from the Civil War. - On Memorial Day, the President or Vice President of the United States gives a speech and lays a wreath on the tombs.
4 -- Members of the armed forces shoot a rifle salute in the air. -- Veterans and families come to lay their own wreaths and say prayers. -- There is a chance that one of the soldiers buried here is a father, son, brother or friend. 2) The Meaning of Memorial Day: (Please try to weave at least two of the following points into your presentation) - It s a sacred day to all war veterans. -- None of you, who have grown up in the aftermath of 9-11, and witnessed the sacrifices of those who have fought and died in our nation s longest war, need to be reminded of the reason Memorial Day must be commemorated. -- But, given the fact, only about 1% of the population will ever serve in the military, how can we help future generations recognize the importance of a day honoring their fellow Americans killed in war? - Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance. America s collective consciousness demands that all citizens recall and be aware of the deaths of their fellow countrymen during wartime. - Far too often, the nation as a whole takes for granted the freedoms all Americans enjoy. -- Those freedoms were paid for with the lives of others few of us actually knew. -- That s why they are all collectively remembered on one special day. - This should be regarded as a civic obligation. -- For this is a national debt that can only be truly repaid by individual Americans. -- By honoring the nation s war dead, we preserve their memory and thus their service and sacrifice in the memories of future generations. - They came from all walks of life and regions of the country. -- But they all had one thing in common love of and loyalty to country. -- This bond cemented ties between them in times of trials, allowing a diverse lot of Americans to achieve monumental ends. - We remember the loss of loved ones, a sense of loss that takes group form. -- In essence, America is commemorating those who made the greatest sacrifice possible giving one s own life on behalf of others. CALL TO ACTION: (Please weave at least one of the following into your presentation). Some examples follow: - Means of paying tribute vary. -- Pausing for a few moments of personal silence is available to everyone. - All across America, young people in JROTC programs (like this one here at ), join veterans, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, civic groups and other concerned citizens to: -- place flags at gravesites, -- march in parades,
5 -- participate in patriotic programs (like this one), -- dedicate memorials and -- wear Buddy Poppies on their lapels to honor those who have preserved our nation s freedom through their selfless sacrifice. - Attending commemorative ceremonies is the most visible way of demonstrating -- remembrance: -- Whether done individually or collectively, it is the thought that counts. -- Personal as well as public acts of remembering are the ideal. -- Public displays of patriotism are essential if the notion of remembering war dead is to be instilled in future generations of young people. - As America s older war veterans fast disappear from society s landscape, there are fewer and fewer standard-bearers left to carry the torch of remembrance. -- Such traditions will live on only if there is a vibrant movement to which that torch can be passed. - Now, more than in recent years, the enduring relevance of Memorial Day should be clearly evident. -- With two wars under way, the public has no excuse not to remember. -- This much is owed to the more than 4,500 Americans who have died thus far in Afghanistan and Iraq. CONNECT-THE DOTS: (Please ask a question near the end of your presentation to invoke thought concerning the possible actions students can take to make a difference). I d like to leave you with a parting question(s): Some examples follow: - Given what you may have learned today, has your knowledge and understanding of Memorial Day changed? - Given what you may have learned today, how will you seek to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom? - Given the ultimate sacrifice of those we honor today, how will you help to make this community, our state and nation, a safer, freer, stronger and better place for your children and grandchildren to raise their families in? - What is your calling? -- Is it volunteering to help deliver meals to the old and infirm? -- Is it mowing the lawn of someone who is disabled down the street? -- Whether you feel a specific calling today or not -- please remember to do your part -- to selflessly serve others.
