killed in action

The run will be fun, but the cause is serious. Selah's third annual Run to Remember Fallen Heroes is Monday (July 11) at Robert Lince Elementary School, 316 W. Naches Ave. Check-in starts at 8 a.m., and the run takes off at 9. The event honors the service and keeps alive the memory of Americans lost in overseas combat...

Saturday's Memorial Day parade in downtown Yakima had some truly patriotic people in attendance -- from those who entered the parade to those who stood and watched. It was a sad day for me, but I was also very proud on who came to honor and pay their respects to those who have fallen.

My mom used to call it Decoration Day, and I still do. We always used to decorate the graves of our loved ones who served.
