Remember what it's about!

Thank you to all who gave their lives so we have the freedom to debate in capital letters with each other. Be safe this weekend my friends. Enjoy your families and camping and barbequeues but keep in mind why we're here...

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. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war).

It's interesting to note we in the USA lost more people in the Civil War than in WWI, WWII and Vietnam combined.
