I remember it being called Decoration Day and I remember my Grandma being a "Gold Star Mother". My Dad (who I lost in 2000) was in the Army in Korea. Thank you for sharing about your Dad.nisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594362587544005104.post-6258755196564211352012-05-28T17:06:56.725-04:002012-05-28T17:06:56.725-04:00Hi Jennifer what a well worded post none of this I...Hi Jennifer what a well worded post none of this I knew about..very moving..the US memorial day is much the same as our UK remembrance day <br />11th hr. of the 11th day of the 11th month..these days we have it on the nearest Sun to Nov 11th..its lovely to see the little fishing town where I live come alive with the procession & laying of the red cross poppies..all peeps gather together at the memorial gardens in the centre of town..very touching sombre occasion <br /><br />Christine xChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102638503608148112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594362587544005104.post-65655708983887244232012-05-28T10:37:23.173-04:002012-05-28T10:37:23.173-04:00Jennifer thank you so much for sharing this and l ...Jennifer thank you so much for sharing this and l can only agree with the above:)xSandra Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975528843359908449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594362587544005104.post-10697626709486894822012-05-28T08:48:00.414-04:002012-05-28T08:48:00.414-04:00THANK you for posting this Jennifer.
