At the cemetery are buried soldiers from the Civil War to World War II, and a lone Buffalo Soldier, George Mason. One of the attendees on Monday was Brandon Wheeler, an Iraq War veteran and member of Living History Colorado, a group dedicated to preserving the memory of the United States Armed Forces. Flags and tributes mark the Memorial Day holiday are placed among the headstones in Fort Logan National Cemetery Monday, May 31, 2021, in southeast Denver. More than 105,000 graves were decorated with flags to mark the holiday. (AP) “One of the worst things that could ever happen after someone goes is to literally forget them,” Wheller told KDVR, the Fox-affiliated TV station in Denver. “By having a point in time where you are kind of forced to remember, it helps you remember those who are lost, regardless if you knew them or not.” MEMORIAL DAY 2021: WHAT EVENTS ARE HAPPENING DURING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND? Wheeler, who is now a journalism student at the Metropolitan State University of Denver, says he has a particular friend in mind, Christopher Horton, who was killed in Afghanistan in September 2011. “It�s one of those where I try to make sure that whatever I am doing in life honors him but is also going to make him proud,” Wheeler said. Another attendee was Tray Quinn, who was representing the Buffalo Soldiers’ legacy, led a procession to the gravesite of George Mason. Mason, who was a Buffalo Soldier in the early 20th century, was buried at the gravesite in 1929. Buffalo Soldiers were African American cavalry and infantry regiments created after Congress passed the Army Organization Act in 1866. Their service officially came to an end shortly after President Harry Truman ended racial segregation in the armed forces in 1948. “I�m very happy to be out here, I�m very excited to have been able to do this again,” Quinn told KKTV, the CBS affiliated TV station in Colorado Springs. “This my sixth year doing this. I wouldn�t miss it for the world, whether it was rain or shine.” ‘TAPS’ non-profit supports families of fallen heroes Ashlynne Haycock from the charity’s educational support services program joins ‘Fox News Live’ Paying tribute to fallen soldiers on Memorial Day comes in many forms. For Joe Mesiano, a Pittsburgh-based musician, that form of tribute is a song. Mesiano�s song “Broken Purple Hearts” is a tribute to those who lost their lives fighting in the Vietnam War. But it could still apply to all U.S. soldiers who lost their lives fighting for their country. The Vietnam War was winding down when Mesiano was just barely a teenager. In the early 1990s, he wrote “Broken Purple Hearts,” inspired by two people he knew who served in Vietnam. One of those men was Mesiano�s uncle, whose mind was “totally shattered” and “never the same ever again” when he came back. Mesiano also had a friend who served, was wounded in battle, and received a Purple Heart. Still, Mesiano emphasized the song is not meant to be political, but simply a tribute to the people who fought for our country. AMERICANS UNMASK, GATHER, REMEMBER OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AS SENSE OF NORMALCY RETURNS Kurt Simmen, a friend of the songwriter, told Fox News how important Memorial Day is to Mesiano. He said a few years ago, he decided to put pictures to Mesiano�s song and make a video. At a Memorial Day picnic, Simmen played the video for attendees and, by his account, “there was not a dry eye in the house.” Simmen said they played the video every year, until the COVID-19 pandemic prevented friends and family from having their annual Memorial Day picnic. He said he still posts “Broken Purple Hearts” on Facebook every Memorial Day. “The song is about Vietnam and the (memorial) wall, but I think it applies to everybody who has ever served and sacrificed,” Simmen said. “I think the song speaks to their legacies and the folks that they leave behind and who miss them.”WASHINGTON � President Joe Biden called for the U.S. to “come to terms” with the darkest moments of its history Tuesday during a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, 100 years after a white mob burned the city’s “Black Wall Street” to the ground, killing hundreds of Black Americans and forcing thousands from their homes. Biden brought a national spotlight to the Tulsa Race Massacre, long neglected and glossed over in history books, becoming the first president to visit Tulsa on an anniversary of the bloodiest race massacre in U.S. history. �I come here to help fill the silence. Because in silence, wounds deepen,” Biden said. In a speech that bluntly talked about racism in America, Biden made a “through-line” from the massacre of Tulsa 100 years later to a weekend in 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia, which saw a white nationalist rally with tiki torches, racist chants and violence. He also announced Vice President Kamala Harris will lead an effort aimed at protecting voting rights, saying the right to vote “is under assault with incredible intensity like I�ve never seen” in the face of restrictive Republican-led voting measures in state legislatures. Biden arrived in Tulsa in the afternoon, toured the Greenwood Cultural Center and met with the three remaining survivors of the massacre, Viola Fletcher, Hughes Van Ellis and Lessie Benningfield Randle, who are 101 to 107 years old. “You are the three known remaining survivors seen in the mirror dimly. But no longer,” Biden said. “Now your story will be known in full view. The events we speak of today took place 100 years ago, and yet I’m the first president in 100 years ever to come to Tulsa. More:Not just Tulsa: Racist state-level actions � but it lacks Republican support in the evenly divided Senate to overcome a potential filibuster. “The work ahead of us is to make voting accessible to all American voters, and to make sure every vote is counted through a free, fair, and transparent process,” Harris said in a statement. “This is the work of democracy.” More:Voting rights: Where do the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and For the People Act stand? ‘Make sure America knows the full story’ For a century, the Tulsa race massacre of May 31, 1921, went largely ignored by sitting U.S. presidents, never prompting a trip specifically to honor those killed in the once-thriving Black neighborhood of Greenwood until now. After the massacre, President Warren G. Harding said he was �shocked� and hoped that �such a spectacle would never again be witnessed in this country,” a plea the federal government did little to ensure. Racist violence continued for decades after the killings in Tulsa. Trump visited Tulsa last June for his first campaign rally amid the coronavirus pandemic. He faced criticism for initially scheduling it on Juneteenth, the holiday celebrating the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S., then moved the rally to a day later, June 20. Trump did not refer to the massacre in his remarks, making headlines 6 Easy Step To Grab This Black Cat Just Do It Later Shirt, hoodie, tank top, sweater, long sleeve tee: Click the button “Buy this shirt” Choose your style: men, women, toddlers, … Pic Any color you like!
