I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Memorial Day Weekend! It is important to remember those that paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country.
The following is a little bit of history regarding the Holiday.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 31 in 2010). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service.[1] First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I.
Aloha,
Pat
