Memorial Day!

I would like to give you a little history on Memorial Day.  A lot of people didn’t know that Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. General John Logan officially proclaimed Memorial Day on The 5th of May 1868.  The General was a national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Memorial Day was first observed on the 30th of May 1868.  The day was observed by placing flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

We must never forget the people who have died for this great Country we call, United States Of America.  Also, remember that Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service.
