Today, Memorial Day, is still called by some, Decoration Day. Many people use this day for a picnic, R&R or perhaps spend time at home with the family. But how many actually take time to say a prayer and thank those who gave their lives for our freedom? (Which was NOT free!) Perhaps, after you read this, you can start a tradition in your family to not forget the true reason of this holiday. If you have any questions, here is a link to a website chocked full of history and bet-you-didn't-know tidbits: http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html
Below are two of my favorite Memorial Day Tributes. The first poem below was written by a Will Carleton who was a famous poet and his works span from 1869-1908. You may notice references
