Memorial Day 101 (for the EuroTrash)

[guyman1966]

The first documented observance of Memorial Day occurred in Waterloo, New York on May 5, 1866. The purpose of the day was to honor those who fought in the Civil War. The day has now expanded to honor those who died during each of the wars in which the United States fought. Typical activities include placing flowers on the graves of soldiers and many communities have parades as tributes to the soldiers who died.

Public Law 90-363, passed on June 28, 1968, required that beginning in 1971, Memorial Day would be observed on the last Monday in May. It is a legal holiday in the United States.

Thats good you are providing this information Guyman some people in the United States sometimes forget why we honor these holidays and just take them as a day to relax and go to the beach and party.

And if you'de like to participate in any of these events... Washington, DC will be having the Memorial Day scheduled all weekend long.

leave elian alone he is probably still thinking of his first piece of gum he ate when he first got here. He is probably drinking sugar water and satle bread for breakfast and we're here making fun of him.

Yeah right Elian is living the good life chilling with Castro, smoking a cohiba. The boy is set for life, there are worst kids in Cuba that are suffering worst than him.
