The Bunker has really gone downhill. No dedication.
Prayers to all of our fallen veterans, who served our great country.
History
Established three years after the Civil War in 1868, Memorial Day was once known as Decoration Day, a time to decorate the graves of fallen Civil War soldiers with flowers. (Eventually the holiday was expanded to honor all Americans who died while in the military service). The day fell on May 30th every year until 1971, when Congress declared Memorial Day (the new official name) a national holiday and modified the date to the last Monday of May.
