🌹Memorial Day Tribute to Fallen Peace Corps Volunteers🌹 “In traditional observance, the flag of the United States is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day. The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon, their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all” https://www.usmemorialday.org/observance EBZEF - Elizabeth Bowers Zambia Education Fund honors the 300+ Fallen Peace Corps Volunteers (FPCVs) since 1962. As warriors for peace, they, too are local and national heroes who deserve our resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain. Their vision of global peace and understanding must be sustained by those who remember them and who follow in their footsteps. FPCVs, we salute you!
