Memorial Day Weekend in DC 2011

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.




Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. This is one of the few holidays that I personally believe in. So many men and women of our armed forces have sacrificed their own lives to give us the freedoms that we as American citizens enjoy every second of every day. If you see a member of any branch of the US Military past or present please thank them for the favor they have already done for you! We as Americans owe them this respect! Have a safe and happy holiday! Hopefully some of you will come and visit me this weekend and see our awesome inventory of new Mitsubishi's!
