Memorial Day
Posted by admin on May 26, 2012 in Uncategorized
Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. First officially observed on May 30, 1868, it was marked by placing flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. It has since evolved into recognition of all Americans who have given their lives fighting for their country. No matter how you plan to celebrate your Memorial Weekend, take a moment to remember those who sacrificed everything to give us the freedoms we enjoy today.
