Happy Memorial Day
According to Wikipedia, “Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.” Memorial day, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day. Decoration Day started after the American Civil War in 1868. This is when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the Union war dead with flowers. By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged. And thus, Memorial Day wasy extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.” To all those who have served and to their families who have served with them, Thank You! Your service does not go unrecognized and we salute you.
