I liked the article as as well. Thanks for the post.
You're welcome. Here would be the ideal day (I don't live in the US, I'm up in Canada but think a lot about it):
Starting at mid- to late morning (since many will likely be up late the previous night), we'd head to service (or have our own if there are none) for 12 noon. From there, we'd head back home for summer gatherings in the latter part of the afternoon and have a group/family BBQ. Of course, before dinner, we'd pray for the troops and those lost.
As for shopping? Forget it. Most stores should be closed.
