🇺🇸 The earliest mention I found about decorating soldiers' graves in honor of their sacrifices and service was June 3, 1861 in Warrenton, VA. This was to honor a Civil War soldier. Memorial Day is also known as Decoration Day.
As you go about your day on this holiday, please make time to pay respect to our soldiers who have passed & send some love to those who may be grieving their passing. Without them, who knows what our day to day world would be like. 🇺🇸
