Every few years I delve into the meaning of Memorial Day.   I did that last year .  Our Freedom was not free.  We are what we are today because of those who died protecting us. Ever wonder what the difference is between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?   Read my posting of 2016 . What should you do on Memorial Day?  You already missed the  PBS telecast of the Concert on the Mall .   But click on this for a You Tube recast .  This was a different kind of show, for it was lacking in stars, but more than made up for it with stories of patriotism. In Hawaii, I sometimes went to the  Shinnyo Lantern Floating ceremony  at Ala Moana Beach  That has changed, and today will occur on their temple grounds.  However, you need reservations, and there are none anymore.  There will be a live broadcast from 6:30 to 7PM on KHON2. I could again walk up to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific inside Punchbowl, but will not. This the  60th anniversary of the official opening of the USS Arizona Memo
