Memorial Day Remembrance

As Americans we celebrate Memorial day, each and every year.  Some gather at their homes with family and friends, some at cemeteries, and some at national monuments.  We, as Americans, honor this day to our fallen service men and women in uniform.  This is an important day for America and must not ever be forgotten. Many question the act of war, the death of many and length of some combats. That right is given to each of us, through the dedication and sacrifice of our military and their immediate family. Agree or disagree with all or some of our combats, we all can agree we dedicate today to our lost heroes. Their sacrifice was to ensure our freedom – We must treasure this freedom enough to live up to it.  They have ensured a free United States of America.
God Bless America.
Jim McShane

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ May 13

“Even in the most technical subjects, such as introduction to calculus, students in online classes do better when the curriculum includes face-to-face encounters. The director of a Columbia University study that compared online and fact-to-face learing sums up its findings: ‘The most important thing that helps students succedd in an online course is interpersonal interaction and support.'”
~Dr. Sherry Turkle, Reclaiming Conversation The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, 2015, p. 230.
