EARLY OBSERVANCES OF MEMORIAL DAY
The Civil War ended in 1865. The Civil War claimed more lives than any other war or conflict historically. National cemeteries began after Civil War. In 1860 Military Chaplains began overseeing memorial services and prayer recitation. Graves were laced with flowers and memorial items. Historical records show (Waterloo, New York 1866) the Federal government declared a Day of Memorial. In Waterloo this was a community event where businesses closed. Residents decorated graves of fallen soldiers with greenery and American flags.
Please take a moment of silence to pray for the families 👪 who gave it all and lost a loved one in a war and or conflict. God bless the most amazing military in the world (The United States of America).
