The origins of Memorial Day
I hate to see anything lose it's true meaning, be it Christmas or Memorial Day. It seems as if to some folks it's become National BBQ Day. I think it's a solemn time and reflection on the sacrifices of those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom should be foremost in our minds.
I was wondering about the origins of the day. I think it was mentioned here some time ago that this began in the South as Decoration Day. A day when the graves of veterans would be cleaned up and decorated with flowers. Am I correct?
