Memorial Day Weekend - Places to Visit in Second Life

[Melita Magic]

Places to go in order to observe Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day honors the fallen in the various branches of the military, as well as other service groups such as firemen, first responders, police, search and rescue, patriots.  Many of whom died in past wars or 9/11.

Here are some places to go and to pay  your respects. If you know of other places which should be in this topic  please add them. *PLEASE I BEG OF EVERYONE DO NOT TURN THIS TOPIC INTO ANY SORT OF DEBATE* Have some respect.

Memorial Day weekend is also a three day holiday weekend in the USA. So some people also get together with their families.  Any celebrations of that type within Second Life, can also be included here.  

 

"Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for a friend."

Nice, Melita. I've not been to any of those places; I'll be sure and correct that over the weekend. Linden Memorial Park looks especially inviting. Thanks.
