ShyWriter Posted May 30, 2011 ID:434842 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Link shown is active - click on graphic to go there.Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, which was first recorded to have been observed by Freedmen (freed enslaved southern blacks) in Charleston, South Carolina in 1865, at the Washington Race Course, to remember the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. Today, what is now known as Memorial Day, commemorates all U.S. Service Members who died while in military service . The recognition of the fallen victims was then enacted under the name Memorial Day by an organization of Union veterans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShyWriter Posted May 31, 2011 Author ID:434928 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As always, a pleasure guys (and gal).. Dumb me; I'm 67 and always thought MEMORIAL DAY was for those killed in WW-II.. I never knew it started way back just after OUR War between the States... I guess we all learn something new sometime... And yes, Thank you to all our Veterans including myself...

jeffce Posted June 1, 2011 ID:435318 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Memorial Day is a day for me to reflect on the men that I led and trained at the 101st Airborne Division here and gone. I remember you all well. Farewell to the ones that are gone and best wishes to the ones that are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
