In Memory of our Honored Dead
On May 30, 2011, famed motivational speaker Marc Accetta celebrated with the rest of the American community to commemorate the annual Memorial Day. It is a very important event in the country, one that could be traced back to 1865 when the first Star Spangled Banner was unfurled to show appreciation for the Martyrs of the Race Course.
Memorial Day: A History
Freedman founded the event on May 1, 1865 when freed African American slaves decorated the graves of fallen heroes from the civil war with American flags in Charleston, South Carolina. It was then called as “Decoration Day” for obvious reasons. Yet as the years passed and more and more conflicts called for American men to bear arms, the affair took an all-encompassing meaning, giving Americans the chance to salute the fallen who gave the country its freedom.

Marc Acceta says, “Freedom is not free. Someone has to pay for that.” Indeed, many servicemen and servicewomen from the Armed Forces of the United Sates: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and the Air Force, have laid down their lives so that civilians can enjoy the very blanket of freedom they provide. Marc emphasizes how these soldiers gave up their lives for something bigger than themselves: the freedom of their country, and the security it would bring to their fellowmen.
In celebration of Memorial Day, Accetta released a podcast that applauds the efforts of the soldiers who lost their lives in service to the country. He ends the podcast with, “A group of individuals who believe in one common goal can do remarkable things. As a matter of fact, they could set the world free.”
