living memorial
May 26th, 2007 by MelanieIn the U.S. we honor our military veterans who have died serving our nation on a special day. “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.” (For the full article of the history of Memorial Day, visit http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html .)
I would like to take this opportunity to say “Thanks” to all those who serve our nation, in whatever aspect, and keep us safe from threats, both foreign and domestic. You shouldn’t have to be dead for us to show you the respect you deserve.
THANK YOU!
