The Origins of Memorial Day

As we approach the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, we all appreciate the three day holiday.  Many travel, many have picnics and spend time visiting friends and relatives.

This weekend has kind of been forgotten about from a history of the events leading to its creation.

George Stewart shared this article from Ohio History website which takes us back to the history and timetables behind the origins of Memorial Day.

Hope you have a terrific holiday weekend!
