Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day.
Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies. Poem by Moina Michael
Daisy Says: Let’s come together to honor those who gave their all.
