This Memorial Day, take a minute to remember those who have given their lives to preserve our freedom, and if you know a Veteran, give them a hand shake and a hardy Thank You!
"Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery."
