Memorial Day

Image result for memorial dayI didn't do anything for Memorial Day, it was just an extra day off for me.  The first official Memorial Day was on May 5, 1868.  Many cities claim to have started it, but none of them can really prove it.  The day is all about remembering those who have died fighting for our country.  Fun fact, the south celebrated it on a different day until after the first world war because that's when it was changed from celebrating those who fought in the civil war to those who fought in any war.  The more you know!
