How embarrassing. I had no idea and need to look up Memorial Day and educate myself. I do attend local services to honor the fallen but didn’t know the details given in this quiz. Live and learn. Thanks Amac. Gail 5 years ago I didn’t do much better – 7 out of 12 — I hang my head in shame! Lisa 5 years ago 9 out of 12! I didn’t even know there were certain times to do certain things. Kate 5 years ago Well, I’m fitting in with the rest of you, 8 out of 12. Not very good. I also did not know there were certain times to put the flag up/down. Betty Councill 5 years ago I am a republican and I want President Trump to remain our leader. I just hope and pray that he will use his words wisely and not act like a child and strike back with unkind and derogatory comments. I pray for America and our leaders daily. I truly believe that President Trump loves America.

Carol 5 years ago Explain question 2 and 5. T Anderson 5 years ago 9 of 12…would have had 10 of 12 if I gone with my first gut reaction to one question. Oh, well, that what came of over-thinking something. demarree1 5 years ago 10 of 12 Did better than I thought I would do. Dave Duda 5 years ago Carol, #2 is the last Monday in May because that is when we celebrate Memorial Day nowadays. #5 is false because we used to celebrate Memorial Day on May 30. George 5 years ago Question 10 has an incorrect answer. The correct answer is NOON, which should never be expressed as 12pm. NOON is 12M not 12PM. And midnight is 12MM not 12AM. Many people get this wrong because early computer programmers were too lazy to properly set up time for their programs and too many people who should know better perpetuate the problem. Please go back and study junior high astronomy or ancient history if you want to review how time is reckoned. Tom 5 years ago I got 9 out of 12 so I’m guessing we are average here I didn’t know there were certain times to do things either Le'Aira Love 5 years ago 12 out of 12!

Don’t understand that. wpDiscuz250Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
