What does it mean say Happy Memorial Day? It is really a day of remembrance of those who have died while serving our country in the armed forces. It started out as Decoration Day after the Civil War it was established by the Grand Army of the Republic In Illinois as a day to decorated the graves of the Union army. Apparently the Union and Confederate tradition were on different days and the government decided to make it one day to celebrate all military men and women who died in the wars.
most have decided to mark this day of reverence as the first unofficial day of summer.. This also makes the last days before my little army is home to love and cuddle the newest member of the family Ellie. ( http://bookhimdanno.blogspot.com/2017/05/motherhood-monday-what-was-i-thinking-i.html )
Lets us never forget those who lived and died for our freedom.
