This up coming Monday is Memorial day before that we already planned for tomorrow since its weekends. In addition to appreciating the military and grilling, Memorial Day is known for shopping--specifically, getting great deals. Whether you plan to rub elbows with fellow discount-seekers at the mall or click-and-shop from home, you can find some of the deepest discounts of the year this weekend. If some of our blogger didn't know about history of memorial day I post it here.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). For
merly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.The official birthplace of Memorial Day is Waterloo, New York. The village was credited with being the place of origin because it observed the day on May 5, 1866, and each year thereafter. The friendship between General John Murray, a distinguished citizen of Waterloo, and General John A. Logan, who helped bring attention to the event nationwide, likely was a factor in the holiday's growth.
Following the end of the Civil War, many communities set aside a day to mark the end of the war or as a memorial to those who had died. Some of the places creating an early memorial day include Sharps burg, Maryland, located near Antietam Battlefield; Charleston, South Carolina; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Petersburg, Virginia; Carbondale, Illinois; Columbus, Mississippi; many communities in Vermont; and some two dozen other cities and towns. These observances coalesced around Decoration Day, honoring the Union dead, and the several Confederate Memorial Days.
Were thankful for our military army who server our country. Thank you.
