If you're the type that needs to have good espresso on the trail, the Picopresso is our favorite portable espresso maker. Oru’s foldable kayaks are another possibility for those of us without the space to store and transport boats. This is the best thing I’ve tested this year. Strap your tent poles to the outside, and you’re ready to do a couple of weeks on the trail. If you plan to use it in a treeless area like the beach, be sure to pick up the poles, which are sold separately (though they seem to be out of stock everywhere at the moment). Add the Picopresso to your cart to see the discount at checkout. The Ranger is the smaller, more portable sibling to the Yukon, which we reviewed and liked. This one just adds the ability to recline for some night sky viewing. It burns wood and charcoal and packs down surprisingly small when you want to throw it in the trunk and hit the road. I think WIRED associate editor Adrienne So summed up this chair well when she said: “To be honest, it’s huge, heavy, takes up a lot of space, and is awkward to fold.

John Latham, active duty chaplain with the Texas State Guard, greets World War II. Local families gathered in front of the Ellis County Veterans Memorial at the ...

Latham said Luna was in the process of diffusing a landmine when one of his squad members stepped on it. The Memorial Day event was organized by the Waxahachie Chapter of Woodmen Life, a nonprofit, member-owned life insurance organization. Also attending the ceremony were two local Gold Star families. “The freedoms we enjoy, the freedoms we take so much for granted, the freedoms we so often trifle with were bought,” Latham said. Charles Atchley, a World War II veteran, also attended the ceremony. Atchley was in combat during the Battle of the Bulge, a German offensive on the Western Front in Europe. He was awarded the prestigious Croix de Guerre, a decoration awarded by France to a squad or individual serving on the country’s foreign military allied forces for their brave and heroic actions.

Since being sworn in as a member of the United States House of Representatives, it has been a key passion and priority of mine to care for the families left behind by our fallen heroes and my fallen brothers and sisters. As a nation, I ask that we reflect upon those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, pay tribute to the fallen and never forget the families they left behind. This article is an Op-Ed and as such, the opinions expressed are those of the authors. Deeply emotional moments in my career involving the fallen and their families often play out in my memories as I reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day. Several years ago, when I was freshly promoted to brigadier general in the Air Force, one of my first duties was to serve as the accident investigation board president for an Air Force MC-12 reconnaissance aircraft that crashed on a mission over Afghanistan, horrifically killing all four crewmembers on board. As I reflect upon those our country has lost and those brave warriors whom I personally knew, I am reminded of the importance of not only honoring and remembering their service and sacrifice, but honoring them through action, by caring for the families they leave behind. Memorial Day is one of the most sacred days of the year for our nation — and for me personally.

Today is perhaps the most somber of all American holidays. Memorial Day is a time to remember our war dead, those in the armed services who gave their lives ...

An official day dedicated to this tragic reality will remind us that firearms take a daily toll in this country, and perhaps move Americans to action. Consider the number of people murdered by gunmen at houses of worship over the past several years. Their names should be before us, observed on a specified day each year, when we remember them and the need to address this enemy in our midst. And a 2014 study by UC San Francisco found that people with ready access to firearms were three times more likely to die by suicide. Memorial Day is a time to remember our war dead, those in the armed services who gave their lives to protect our nation. Dedicating a day to honor these veterans and mourn their deaths helps remind us of the terrible toll of war.

We must invest in the care of service members and their families, from health care to housing to education. “On this Memorial Day, we must renew our commitment to not only honor those who have fallen in the fight for our freedom, but those who return from war. “As our nation reels from the devastating loss of civilian life in cities and towns across our country as a result of the epidemic of gun violence, we come together today to honor those brave Americans who elect to put their own lives on the line to keep other Americans safe as members of the Armed Services. Every year – but especially this year – we commemorate Memorial Day with solemnity and reflect together as a nation on the sanctity of every life, and the immense sacrifice of every life that’s been lost, from the battlefield to the schoolyard.

"Today we honor all those who sacrificed everything so we could have freedom," Republican Congressman Brian Mast, who lost both legs serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan in 2010, tweeted. "So long as freedom rings across our nation, the courage, service and patriotism of the heroes we have lost will never be forgotten."

Internationally, fares are also up from 2019, but only 10%. Prices to Europe are about 5% cheaper than before the pandemic — $868 for the average round trip, according to Hopper.

However, airlines have thousands fewer employees than they did in 2019, and that has at times contributed to widespread flight cancellations. Domestic airline fares for summer are averaging more than $400 for a round trip, 24% higher than this time in 2019, before the pandemic, and a robust 45% higher than a year ago, according to travel-data firm Hopper.
