Memorial Day

The war

Legal? Yes. Realistic? no.

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. It is not important who was the very first, what is important is that Memorial Day was established. Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. There is also evidence that organized women's groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966.

When Decoration Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, three years after the US Civil War ended, it was a day to honor all military personnel who had died during that war. The graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery were decorated with flowers hence the name Decoration Day. After World War I it became a day to honor the memory of those who had died during all wars in which the United States had been involved and it generally became known as Memorial Day. But it wasn't until 1967 that it was officially renamed as Memorial Day.

On May 5, 1868 General John Alexander Logan, who was a general during the US Civil War and who was then national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (a fraternal organization of veterans), proclaimed there to be a holiday called "Decoration Day" to honor all members of the military (both Union and Confederate) who had died during the Civil War that had ended three years earlier. The first observation of this holiday took place on May 30, 1868 at Arlington National Cemetery and the graves of those military members were "decorated" with flowers. Red poppies have become the flower most associated with this holiday.

After World War I Decoration Day generally became known as Memorial Day and the holiday was expanded to honor all US Military that had died during all wars and military actions in which the United States had been involved. But it wasn't until May of 1967 that President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the legislation, passed by Congress that year, officially changing the name "Decoration Day" to "Memorial Day."
