The American Legion

The American Legion suggests lighting candles for Memorial Day:

A red candle to remember the bloodshed in battle for the protection of our freedoms.

A white candle to keep our POWs/MIAs ever in our thoughts and prayers as we await their return home.

A blue candle to salute the memories of those who made it home but are no longer with us.
