Many Americans travel to visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service, during the Memorial Day weekend. 

Memorial Day was formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.

“I cannot begin to fully understand your loss,”  “As a father, I cannot begin to imagine what it’s like to hear that knock on the door and learn that your worst fears have come true. But as commander in chief, I can tell you that sending our troops into harm’s way is the most wrenching decision that I have to make.” - President Barack Obama

"We honor our military more, we take care of our veterans better. Because of the hard lessons of Vietnam, because of you, America is stronger than before." - said, President Obama

By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Wishing You, your Family and Friends

a fun-filled Thanksgiving Celebration.

Historically, "In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the 'First Thanksgiving' celebrations in the colonies. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.

The legacy of thanks, and particularly of the feast, have survived the centuries as people throughout the United States gather family, friends, and enormous amounts of food for their yearly Thanksgiving meal". (Ref: Kathleen Curtin, Food Historian at Plimoth Plantation)

Today, traveling has been an indispensable feature of the Thanksgiving Holiday to many. This is a time to visit family and friends regardless of their location. Whichever location you will be traveling, be safe and enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday.
