Memorial Day 2011 is on
30th May in 2011.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day and officially proclaimed on 5 May
1868 by General John Logan, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our
nation's service. Although hhere are many stories as to the actual beginnings, with
over 24 cities claiming to be 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: a hymn published in 1867, "Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping" by
Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication "To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating
the Graves of the Confederate Dead". While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the
birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it's difficult
to prove conclusively the origins of the day. It is more likely that it had many sepa-
rate beginnings; each of those towns and every planned or spontaneous gathering of
people to honor the war dead in the 1860's tapped into the general human need to
honor our dead, each contributed honorably to the growing movement that culmi-
nated in Gen Logan giving his official proclamation in 1868. It is about reconciliation;
it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all.
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great exam-
ple.”
Benjamin Disraeli

step is carefully done with thoughts for the people who will remember and have re-
membered loved ones during the Lantern Floating ceremony. Would you like to get

Park.
