lest anyone misunderstand my original post... i'm not judging anyone for any way they want to spend their day... i like history and found the link interesting. even this late in my life, i was not aware of the real history of the day.

Yesterday, I bought a poppy outside the Big Box store where I was shopping. I remember my dad would talk of the meaning of the poppy sale and I remember memorizing the poem, In Flander's Field, when I was in high school. The meaning of Memorial Day is still remembered in many towns and homes and hearts..

actually there was a phenomenon of Northern and Southern ladies decorating the graves of soldiers from both sides, who were buried far from home. With the thought, I hope someone is doing the same for my loved one.
