A New Way to Honor Our Fallen Soldiers - Visit the VetFriends.com Casualty Memorial
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) May 8, 2008 -- This Memorial Day, Americans will come together to honor and give thanks to the many men and women who have sacrificed their lives in service to our country. VetFriends.com -- the largest Web site for reuniting and supporting U.S. veterans -- offers an online Casualty Memorial for all to view in honor and remembrance of our fallen U.S. military heroes.

The Casualty Memorial at www.vetfriends.com/memorial, sourced by the federal National Archives, allows visitors to search by first and last name, state, military branch and war to view memorial pages spanning back to the Korean War. Each listing contains the soldier's date of birth, hometown, military branch of service, along with the date and location of his or her death. Family and friends can submit bio information, personal notes, along with a collection of photos in honor of their fallen soldiers.
Additionally, a Memorial Day forum has been developed on the Web site, reaching out to both veterans and the public.

VetFriends.com encourages people to share how they will spend this year's Memorial Day as well. Submissions will be posted live online through Memorial Day and the summer.
U.S. veteran T. Eisenhour writes to the forum, "Memorial Day is a day to honor all the men and women of the Armed Forces, that served this great nation to keep this country free. All of the fallen comrades, veterans and those who still serve this nation need to be commended not only on Memorial Day but every day of the year."

Tsunami -a Poem Dedicated To Help Aid and Awareness and Encourage Future Harmony. Make Peace Not War
Real Power.One Tsunami, and all our armies,
Seem belittled by their wars,
What Animals fled, and tribesmen read,
Finally Arrives with crushing roar,
Wholesale slaughter, purely by water,
Makes us seem an irrelevance,
Concepts of power, change by the hour,
Faced with primal elements.

A Holiday Gift to Say Thanks to Wounded Service Members; Military Families, Public Asked to Help Build a Yellow Ribbon Picture Wall and Thank Service
A new initiative to honor and say "thank you" to wounded U.S. service members begins this week, and the organizers are asking for your help. "Yellow Ribbons for Wounded Troops" will enable anyone with access to the Internet to send a yellow ribbon, a personal "thank you" of sorts, to show wounded U.S. service members our appreciation for their sacrifice and service.
The organizers, a partnership between CarePages, Inc. and the USO, hope that 1 million yellow ribbons will be sent during the upcoming holiday season to service members convalescing in hospitals and their homes or who have recovered from their injuries.
