There’s more to Memorial Day than burgers, beaches, and beer. Take some time today to reflect on the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives for the greater good. Our security and freedom have been purchased and maintained at an exorbitant cost.

It’s been a while since I’ve revived one of my Classic Ross Amico crossword puzzles, formulated during lockdown, a period that provided all of us with an opportunity for a little undisturbed introspection. That said, I used to come up with most of my crossword clues while doing the dishes!

Test your knowledge of war songs, commemorative works, and composers who served. To fill out the puzzle, follow the link and select “solve online” at the bottom of the page. You’ll then be able to type directly into the squares. Once you feel you’ve exhausted the puzzle, you’ll find the solutions by clicking on “Answer Key PDF.”

Then, if you’ve a quiet moment, search for some of the musical selections online. I’m sure audio files for many of them have been posted, and they are all suitable for the day.
