So, another Memorial Day is upon us this month of May. It seems that we all seem to have fun on this first summer holiday. There are so many of us who plan some sort of family gathering that could mean barbecues of many kinds of picnic foods from the common hamburgers and hot dogs and potato salad and whatever seems to be of interest to share. There may be some who drink, but I hope they do wisely for this is a day to remember the fallen who gave their all to this country we love and live for.

What would you write?
If you were the teacher in this classroom, what would you be teaching? This seems to be a classroom in a poor nation, and if I were teaching, I believe that I would be teaching a Basic English as a second language course for various students that could be interested in moving to the United States of need to learn English for a new position of some kind. On the blackboard behind the desk, I would probably write on the board with words of introduction and pronunciation keys and do some oral exercises using those words as a first lesson.

Well-wrought, Mark! We should remember the fallen, not just in war, but in every aspect fo life. Some wars are fought unseen.
Great drabble. Not as familiar with Memorial Day as I should be, but know the fundamentals of it. You're getting good at these little snapshot pieces of writing, Mark!
Such lovely wishes for your country and its people 😊⭐️😊
