CELEBRATING DECORATION DAY (1868)
What we know today as Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day starting in 1868 after the Civil War.
It was a day created to memorialize those veterans who had made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, both North and South.
We’re planning on celebrating the lives of those military men and women who gave their lives in the performance of their duties, as well as all those who have served, and those who currently serve.
However you spend it, remember to contemplate the sacrifices made by those who came before us and who volunteered their services to make this country better.
Happy Memorial Day! And remember to thank a veteran!
