That is what Memorial Day was originally called, it officially changed to Memorial Day in the '60's, I believe.
Today I look back in my post archive to share this one with you, that I wrote a couple of years ago for Memorial day. I am thinking of those I loved who are not here to see this beautiful day, and hear the birds sing.
I think I need a trip to the garden center today, to pick up some hollyhocks and maybe a rose, like the ones that grew in my grandmother's yard.

I love your old postcard of Decoration Day! Also, your 2010 post is very touching remembering family who is no longer with you. Today is a good day to go through old photo albums.
