Happy Memorial Day
Memorial Day is dedicated to all service men and women who gave their lives for freedom and country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. The roots of Memorial Day observance go back to 1865 and the end of the Civil War.
Memorial Day was traditionally held on the 30th of May. In 1971, Congress changed it to the last Monday in May, in order to afford a three day holiday weekend.
Regardless of the date, we are encouraged to follow Memorial Day traditions such as attending a parade, having a picnic and/or visiting a cemetery to honor and remember our serviceman. Take time to remember lost loved ones in whatever way you feel appropriate, but we hope you get to enjoy the time with your loved ones.
Did you Know? Memorial Day was first called Decoration Day. It was changed to Memorial Day in 1882. Memorial Day also marks the beginning of the gardening and summer seasons, even though summer will not actually start for a few more weeks.
