The Grand Connection is a blog where we can share ideas about grandparenting, especially ways to pass spiritual values and family stories to the next generation.

New posts will be on Tuesdays (Tuesday’s Thought) and Fridays (Friday's Fun). It will be great to learn from each other!

Friday's Grand Connection Thought

Our nation will soon celebrate Memorial Day. This U.S. Federal holiday falls on the last Monday of May. This year, on May 28, we'll remember the brave men and women who gave their very lives for our freedom.
 
How much do our grandkids really know about Memorial Day?  Have any of your relatives or friends died while defending our country? Does your grandchild know about these people?

There are lots of Memorial Day activities that we can do with our grandchildren. We may want to go to the library or surf the Internet with a grand ... and discover the history of this national holiday. We could also e-mail a grandchild links to some of the Memorial Day videos, websites, and activities (see below). We might even want to call a long distance grandchild and watch the Internet video about Memorial Day at the same time.
