Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day Weekend. Have a safe holiday weekend.
Here's a brief history on Memorial Day...
"Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to our country. It began during the Civil War when organized women's groups in several towns throughout the South decorated the graves of the Confederate war dead with flowers, wreaths and flags. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5th, 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 May 30, 1868."
Let us remember all those who have fought for our freedom. Pray for those that continue to fight in the Middle East so that those overseas can appreciate and live the freedom we do here in the United States. Thank you to all the service men and women who are giving up their own freedom for others. God Bless!
