The Grey Man- Series…

In honor of Memorial Day, the entire Grey Man series will be on sale starting Friday, the 26th, ending on the 30th. Get them early for the deeper discount.

Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers who had died during the American Civil War. It was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead. After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women who died in any war or military action.

Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. The current name for this day did not come into use until after World War II. Decoration Day and then Memorial Day used to be held on May 30, regardless of the day of the week, on which it fell. In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed as part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends. This meant that that, from 1971, Memorial Day holiday has been officially observed on the last Monday in May.

 

Please remember to take a few minutes this coming weekend to remember those who gave their all for their country.

  1. All gave some,
    Some gave all.

    And I wonder if they looked at the pink hat movement and the conduct of students on campus – among other progressive achievements – what they would say.

    Of course nobody would listen.

  2. I shall be at a military cemetery on Monday, to be with my late wife.

  3. LL- Of course they will ignore it, doesn’t fit their POS little agenda…

    CP- Amen, sorry it looks like they won’t be on the Wall, where they SHOULD be.

    Sam- Thoughts and prayers, sir.

  4. At my house we will always take time to remember the people that gave us their last full measure.
