MEMORIAL DAY. What's it all about?
"The first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868. Then known as Decoration Day, the holiday was proclaimed by Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic to honor the Union soldiers who had died in the Civil War ...The world wars turned it into a day of remembrance for all members of the U.S. military who fought and died in service."--Wikipedia
