The origins of Memorial Day

[L Verge]

I apologize for being a day late in posting this, but to me, every day should be Memorial Day when we thank all who have served and all who have given their lives for our freedom. As that crucial day in November draws closer, it is my prayer that the American people will remember what our forefathers from the 1700s onward fought and died for -- and that they will make very wise choices in whom they place in office. Our flag serves better purposes when it is flying in the breeze than when it is wrapped around a young person's coffin.
