Decoration Day

Decoration Day began as an honoring of those who had died in the 1861-1865 War. By the 1900s, it had become Memorial Day, a day of remembering the women and men who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Today, we remember all those who have devoted their lives to shape and build and preserve our country. Please bring tokens (such as pictures or medals) and memories of your own service or the service of others dear to you to this ceremony of honor and remembrance.
