The observance of Memorial Day is an American traditioi\ which began during the Civil War. Although it b' gan as an occasion to honor the dead of all wars. Memorial Day has since become a time for the decoration of graves of family and fnends. Memorial Day is an ail-American holiday, a day which has its roots in the war which had threatened to splh our young republic in two.
This commemoratvie tradition began as Decoration Day on April 25,1866, when a group of young ladies in Columbus, Miss. Gathered flowers to decorate the graves of loved ones in the community cemetery.
Today our nation pauses to honor its heroic dead. But, as we pause in this reverent moment or remembrance, let us not forget those who served and survived, many with bodies maimed and minds tortured by the horrors of their experiences, and reaffirm our sacred pledge "to care for him who shall have bome the burden of battle, his widow and his orphan.''
To fully honor the meaning of Memorial Day, we must reaffirm our dedication to strengthen our nation that those who have sacreficed hi freedom's name shall not have done so in vain.
It is this tradition which The American Legion proudly serves here hi Huntley, past Post Commander Emricson stated.
Guest Speaker this year at the Memorial Day Ceremonies will be Bob Schultz, Americanism Chairman for Huntley American Legion Post #673.
