What is Memorial Day about?

Today, many people act like Memorial Day is the day to celebrate the American tradition of shopping. But Memorial Day has a much more rich history and is something that we should all respect as Americans and Christians.

Waterloo, New York was recognized by President Lyndon Johnson and both houses of Congress, as the birthplace of Memorial Day because the town decorated the graves of Civil War veterans as early as May 5, 1866.

Take a moment today to remember the men and women who died so that we can worship freely.
