HAPPY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL ...
Memorial Day 2013 ... The
original idea for Memorial Day came in 1865, when Henry C. Wells, a
druggist in the village of Waterloo, N.Y., suggested that honor should
be shown to those killed in the Civil War by decorating their graves.
According to the U.S. Memorial Day Webb site, townspeople adopted the
idea and made wreaths, crosses and bouquets for each veterans grave.
Memorial Day, originally called "Decoration Day", was created by General
Order No. 11, issued by Gen. John A.Logan, first commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic, in 1868. The date of the order came exactly two
years after Waterloo's first observance. Logan proclaimed May 30 as
Decoration Day and wrote, in reference to the "cost of a free and
undivided republic". ...
"...From
these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which
they here gave the last full measure of devotion ---that we here highly
resolve these dead shall not have died in vain..." _Abraham Lincoln,
Gettysburg Address........_info from wnem.com
