Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

It is hard to imagine a more fitting musical tribute than that of the beautiful theme written by Michael Kamen for the TV series, "Band of Brothers." On this Memorial Day, perhaps a silent meditation on this cemetery scene with Kamen's theme playing as a backdrop will help us to focus on what so many have given as the price for our liberty and our religious freedom... "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may the Perpetual Light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. And may their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace! Amen+ Grateful Hat Tip to "Wretchard" of "The Belmont Club"

Monday, May 26th is designated "Memorial Day" in the United States (the last Monday in May). It is both a federal and state holiday and many in the U.S. mark it as the "unofficial" first day of summer. The day is set aside to commemorate those members of our military who have died. Many will visit civilian or Veteran's cemeteries to pay their respects, attend scheduled memorial services or go to special Masses to mark this day. I will be posting lightly over the next day or so, but new posts are scheduled.
