![]() I don’t know about you, but as messed up as this country is right now, there is no place in the world that I would have wanted to be born in. Where we came from as a believer in Jesus Christ? ![]() So this morning, how do we remember the important things? We forget we enjoy freedom on the back of those of great sacrifice. People have a way of forgetting! Especially in a country of great blessing! “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect.”Ĭongress later enacted a bill for Memorial Day to fall under the “National Holiday Act” and made it a 3 day weekend instead of a day of remembrance. 2000, congress passed a “National moment of Remembrance” I believe as time went on, more graves were not decorated, more people forgot about the sacrifices others made so they could enjoy freedom.ĭec. Memorial Day officially proclaimed in 1868, with a purpose of remembrance. The purpose was to not forget the sacrifice made by others for what we have today. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and was established as a day to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers from the Civil War. ![]() I would guess that there is many who so not know what Memorial Day stands for or why we have off. A day that most have off to get with family and friends, have a cook-out, or just enjoy some down time. ![]()
