DID YOU KNOW-----
Memorial Day was originally created to honor Union soldiers who died while fighting in the Civil War? that's why southern states did not observe Memorial Day until after World War I when the holiday was expanded to include servicemembers from all wars.
...it was founded by a veteran? In 1868, Gen. John A. Logan, the commander- in- chief of a Union veterans group, the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a decree calling for May 30 to be a national day of commemoration for fallen servicemembers.
...There's a minute to remember? Under a 2000 law passed by congress, Americans should observe a "National Moment of Remembrance," pausing for one minute at 3p.m. on Memorial Day to honor fallen servicemembers.
