Memorial Day
by aschling
It's almost Memorial Day, and time to remember the men and women of the military that died serving their country. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day because of the decorating of graves that took place on this day after the Civil War. The Flag will be flown at half staff until noon and there is a "National Moment of Remembrance" at 3pm. If you wish to acknowledge this moment it is asked that activities are paused to remember the day in silence or listening to "Taps". If you are interested in reading more about Memorial Day the library has the book Memorial Day : (decoration day) : its celebration, spirit, and significance as related in prose and verse, with a non-sectional anthology of the civil war and Memorial Day.
