Dr. Martin Luther King was a brave, brave man.
He knew what was probably going to happen to him, but he forged ahead with his dream; anyway.

Nothing which is exactly the same thing that I do on all such days to honor anybody.

The same as arbor day.
The only days that are special to me are Dec. 7th, Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Well ok, the 4th of July sometimes, depends on the condition of the Country.

SPC Margaret Higgins I ask myself why TWO of the most important men in American History had to give up their days to make room for his (Lincoln and Washington). I take nothing away from Dr. King, but they should simply have ADDED his day, not combined those other two into the diluted 'President's Day'.

I don't do anything particularly different on Martin Luther King Day SPC Margaret Higgins. Since from all accounts he was a humble man who was a believer in the atonement of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ I expect he would be saddened to learn that a day was named after him. Since it removed the days honoring which honored two Presidents of the United States of America, revered by him, Washington and Lincoln. In the strange mathematics of Federal Holidays some bureaucrat decided that we could not add a federal holiday to the ones already enshrined in law.
I will go through my daily prayers and devotionals and seek God's guidance just like I do every other day.

I watched Glory again,the 54th's charge on Fort Wagner.Those Soldiers built the platform from which Dr.Martin Luther King advanced equality to all.
