Memorial Day observances have been a part of the American scene for more than 100 years. Comman¬ der Schultz explained. In 1868, Gen¬ eral lohn A Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic issued bis his¬ toric order for such an observance which established the tradition of public ceremonies "to respect com¬ rades Who died in defense otf Iheir aiuntry."
For many  years  after the Civil
War, The GAR in the North and the Confederate Veterans in the South took charge of Memorial Day services in their respective commim- ities. When these organizations be¬ came unable to carry on actively these rites (which include the de¬ coration of all known vetercm grave sites). The Amerioan Legion pledged its help to the penietuation of the annual observance of Memorial Day, Commar*der Schultz explained.
