Memorial Day

"Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to our country"  I went looking for the history behind Memorial Day, so I clicked over to my trusty Google, typed in Memorial Day History, the above sentence seems to be the only thing in common with all the different versions.  I thought it would be interesting to see how/when/where but like many things depending on what side of the boat you are on you will see it with different eyes...So I will simply say...THANK YOU to everyone that has served our country, to those that didn't make it home, to those that made it home...THANK YOU.
