U.S. Army Pvt. Zach Lawson, 22, of Portland, Ore., places American flags on graves at Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day.

The The Two-Way blog has only been in existence for five days and already we're getting our first three-day weekend.

Mark and I plan on going dark for the next three days but promise to come back up sooner if major news happens.

We hope everyone has a safe holiday weekend. And let's all remember the reason the holiday was established in the first place — to honor those who have given the nation, as Abraham Lincoln said, "the last, full measure of devotion."
