Memorial Day is so much more than just a time for picnics or BBQs with the family, watching parades, or shopping the sales at the mall.  None of us would have any of the freedoms or opportunities we have each and every day if it weren't for the commitment and sacrifices of our past or present American military men and women.  We should all recognize and appreciate, too, the sacrifices made by their families during the times of their service for our country.  We ask everyone to please take a moment out of your activities over this Memorial Day Weekend to give a word of thanks and to remember these brave men and women for all that they've done and endured so that we might remain The Land of the Free.

Thank You!
Have a Happy & Safe Holiday!

Happy Creating Everyone . . . We'll See You Soon!

A Date for Remembering . . .

Today is Memorial Day . . .

a special day set aside for honoring all
of our service men and women who have given so much of themselves for their country.

Please join us and take a moment today in remembering
all of our active military personnel and veterans,
because without their service, dedication, and sacrifices,
we would not enjoy the many privileges and freedoms
we all take for granted each and every day.

Thank you to all who have served . . .
now and in the past . . .
we salute you and appreciate all that you
have done and continue to do everyday!

Enjoy this holiday weekend with your family and friends.

Memorial Day, originally recognized as Decoration Day, is a day designated for remembrance for those who've died in service to our country.  Officially proclaimed as a holiday on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, it was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873.  By 1890, it was recognized by all the Northern states, but the South refused to acknowledge the day.  Instead, they honored their dead on separate days until after World War I, when the holiday changed from honoring only those who'd died fighting the Civil War to honoring all Americans who'd died fighting in any war.  It's now celebrated in almost every state on the last Monday in May - passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 to ensure a three-day weekend for Federal holidays - though several Southern states still have an additional day separate for honoring the Confederate war dead.

In 2011, Congress passed a resolution creating a National Moment of Remembrance, which encourages all Americans to pause for one minute at 3:00pm local time on Memorial Day to honor those who've died as a result of their service to this Nation.  "As we contemplate the comforts and blessings of our lives and the well-being of our Nation, I ask you to pause just for a moment to remember those who gave their lives to protect the values that give meaning to our lives." (Former Pres. Bill Clinton, May 31, 1999)
