We used to call it "Decoration Day," as they decorated the Veterans' graves with flowers and flags. The first official commemoration was on May 30, 1868, following the Civil War. We lost over 1 Million Americans in the Civil War, more than we lost all our other wars combined.
Respectfully remembering all the Americans who gave their lives in service to our country today. We owe them a great debt of gratitude.
