Never Forget
We should never forget why we celebrate this holiday, thank you to all our brave men and
women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country!
Decoration Day
Christy and Ciara chatted about how Memorial Day was originally celebrated and held by the
slaves after the civil war, it was then called “Decoration Day”. A particular quote about the
article I truly love “This was a story that had really been suppressed both in the local memory
and certainly the national memory,” says Blight. “But nobody who had witnessed it could ever
have forgotten it.” That is a quote that is s true on many levels when it comes to the remembrance
of our soldiers that have given their all, then and now. To read about this history, click here! Even
