Memorial Day. A day of remembrance, family gatherings, the
start of summer, and much more...
In reading Parade
yesterday there was the article, War and Remembrance: A Look at Memorial Day's Civil War
Roots,
I was reminded that as with our own research, an understanding of the history
of an event, occupation, entity or community, gives us so much more knowledge
about our ancestors and what they experienced and “why” we do what we do, in
this case – celebrate Memorial Day.
Do read this short piece as a reminder of the history of
this day and also a reminder to take a moment to remember that sacrifices made
by many, soldiers, parents, spouses, children and communities, are why we are
the people and country we are today.
