Honor the memory

Flags are flying, cemeteries have been decorated, let us remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

The Daughters of the American Revolution, the largest womens service group in the country, was founded to honor and remember the first Patriots. "The American Spirit" is the award winning DAR magazine published 6 times a year.

The current issue has a quick quiz for Memorial Day:

1 Whom was Memorial Day originally intended to honor?
2. In what year did Memorial Day become an official holiday?
3. Which city was the first to celebrate Memorial Day?
5. In what year did "The Star Spangled Banner" become the national anthem?

I'll post the answers tomorrow but I'll bet you can find the answers through Encyclopedia Britannica in GALILEO.

Let us not forget.......
