A brief history of Memorial Day

Interesting Memorial Day facts, from the History Channel:

• Memorial Day originally was known as Decoration Day because it was a time set aside to honor the Civil War dead.

• May 30, 1868, was the first such day designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of those who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion.

• In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the official birthplace of Memorial Day because the town had made it an annual event for which businesses closed.
