Remembering those who have fallen and thanking those who have served. 
Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.
Memorial Day 2020 occurs on Monday, May 25. 

In war-torn battlefields, the red field poppy was one of the first plants to grow. The practice of wearing of poppies was inspired by the poem, In Flanders Fields, written in 1915 by Canadian soldier John McCrae.  
In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Northern Stacks is built on a site rich with history. It began as the Northern Pump Company in 1940, but on the eve of Pearl Harbor, it was retooled to manufacture gun turrets for the U.S. Navy. At its height, 7,000 men and women valiantly worked 24/7 to supply the war effort.

In August 1941, Northern Pump received its first Battle "E" award of excellence from the Navy and would go on to earn five more before WWII ended. The company continued to supply several American wars afterward.

Today, Northern Stacks proudly continues in this great American entrepreneurial spirit with a site reinvented for the modern workforce.
