REMEMBER TO "REMEMBER THEM" ON MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 30, 2016

The cannons boomed once more in 1812, when American patriots met the armies of Great Britain, this time officially on US soil.  Visit the grave sites of 1812 Patriots buried at St. James Parish in Wilmington where five soldiers of the Battle of 1812 were laid to rest and approximately 150 Continental Soldiers.
Visit the Wilmington National Cemetery and participate in their Memorial Day service as they remember the soldiers that gave their lives for our country in other wars, both foreign and domestic. So, on Memorial Day, observe the day with remembrance of all US veterans that gave the full measure of devotion that fought for their country. The easiest way to show your appreciation is to fly your flag, not just on Memorial Day, but every day of the year.
