The first national celebration was May 30, 1868 at Arlington National Cemetary
It was originally called Decoration Day and celebration began sometime after the Civil War
In 1971 it officially became a FEDERAL HOLIDAY.
Now we also have Veteran's Day which honors those who served in our military. Memorial Day remembers all who died in or out of wars. However its genesis began after a war so the irony of the sb prez sowing seeds of more war more war more war cannot go unnoted. Does he even realize how perfect his timing would be? Does the stable genius have enough brain in head to have PLANNED all of this as a prerequisite to announcing WE ARE AT WAR WITH (FITB)? I dunno. How intelligent are self-proclaimed stable genies genieiis geniuses?
