Today, the 26th May is a day of remembrance, a day of honoring all those brave countrymen that have fallen in battle so that we may enjoy the freedom that we usually take for granted.

Today, we use the day off to spend it together with our family, although, unfortunately there isn't a family in our great country that hasn't felt the sorrow of loosing a family member or a friend in battle. So while visiting a military cemetery or memorial and placing a flag or some flowers is a proper way to pay our respects, some may find that to be a bit too somber and difficult task. So, in order to show their respect and properly mark the day, many people decorate their homes in the patriotic colors of red, white and blue.
