HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
General Orders No.11, WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 1868

1. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit...


May you all Rest in Peace...

To some it's just a paid vacation day and a 3 day weekend,.. That's sad.

Thank you to all who served. Safe travels today.

"All gave some and some gave all"

"For those that fought for it freedom has a flavor the protected will never know or truly understand"

I tip a glass today to all my brothers that did not come home and to their families my prayer for peace

Freedom is not free but bought with the blood of young Americans , our countries true heroes

Sorry just the rant of an old soldier fading away but not forgetting his friends who never had the chance to grow old
