 Memorial Day.... Remember the veterans, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice...

The Memorial day celebration was started by Southern women, contrary to : some news reports, since there has been a tradition for over two hundred years;  in the South, called Decoration Sunday, where relatives go out , in the spring of the year, to local graveyards and clean and put in good order the graves of both loved ones and any others in need... This was done in the South after the Civil war, as many had relatives who were buried there..   Of Course there were memorials in other parts of the country, and eventually it became a national holiday to honor all veterans of all conflicts and wars... 

GOD bless them all...   Thank You Veterans....  Thank You All...   We are praying for all those who serve and epically those in harms way....    Thank you one and all...
