Memorial Day

Thank you to all our military men and women for your service this Memorial Day. We thank all of you and your families of those who have and are still serving our country here and aboard.

A quick bit of history about "Decoration Day" as it was once known. Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May to commemorate U.S. soldiers who have died while in military service. It was first enacted to honor American Civil War Union soldiers but extended after World War I to honor all Americans who have passed away in conflicts.

Begun as a day of remembrance for military personal it has become a day that all families visit and remember those now gone. On behalf of all of us… we thank all of you for your service to our country.
