Into the Weekend - May 27th, 2022

May 27

We made it to the weekend - and it's a holiday weekend at that! This weekend marks Memorial Day, a day for remembrance and honoring our fallen heroes. It also happens to be the unofficial start of summer. Though, I think this month's warmer temps kicked off summer a little early this year.

This weekend, I hope you'll find a way to cool off - perhaps at a pool party or at the movie theater (watching the new Top Gun movie, of course).

Whatever you're up to this weekend, I wish you
a great one.

In Remembrance of our heroes this Memorial Day

Early Observances of Memorial Day

The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.

Did you know? Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

History of Memorial Day

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
