Re: Memorial Day..
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: danachevroletfor1967</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am pretty certain that Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and came about to put flowers on the graves of those who died in the Civil War. I don't know when it was changed to Memorial Day to honor all those veterans who gave their lives serving our country; maybe after WWI or WWII? I consider it a day when I honor all veterans too, living and deceased.
On another note there is a WWII vet, age 90, that plays in our local senior softball league (for those age 50 and over). He is quite a guy and I admire him greatly. We were on the same team last season.

All you can pray for is you can do the same at that age ... TAZ
