Honor and Remember Month of May
Campaign Action Sheet
Everyone can do something special each day of the month to pay tribute to the men and women who gave all in defense of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. This is a real opportunity for all grateful citizens to make a positive statement concerning the cost of liberty.
Ideas for “Honor and Remember Month” include:
• State and local Governments can issue proclamations designating May as Honor and Remember Month;
• Businesses can be invited to download pictures and a bio of local heroes and post them in the windows or on the walls of their establishment;
• Families, friends or comrades of these heroes can send stories about their loved ones to local media;
• Schools can ask students to write stories and draw pictures about their hometown heroes for display;
• Notices can be posted in company emails, newsletters, and community bulletin boards;
• Television and radio stations can profile a different hero each day;
• Churches, sports teams, organizations and special events can honor a hero in many specific ways;
• Government representatives can read into the municipal record the names of the fallen in their area;
• Individuals can suggest and encourage public service announcements on local radio and cable stations;
• Everyone can print out a list of fallen heroes from the Internet and post their names every day on their social networking channels and encourage their friends and families to share them on their pages;
• Business owners can display the Honor and Remember Flag with a symbolism poster inside their lobby;
• Everyone with a flagpole can fly the Honor and Remember Flag; and
• Alternative creative ideas to honor and remember.
Thank you to all those who want to recognize Our Fallen Heroes and those who lost their Loved Ones – the Families of America’s Finest.
