Decoration/Memorial Day
I am one of those who wishes that Memorial Day (aka Decoration Day as well as other names in the South) was still observed on May 30 and that more attention was paid to its original purpose. No matter your plans this weekend, I hope you will brush up on the history of this special day.
https://www.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/history.asp Inspired by the meaning of the day, Francis Finch wrote this famous poem: http://www.civilwarhome.com/blueandgray.html And one more -- legend or fact? https://www.history.com/news/memorial-da...charleston |
