Freedom isn't free. This simple yet profound truth anchors our special Memorial Day episode as we explore the origins, evolution, and significance of this solemn American holiday that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.Did you know that approximately 43% of Americans, primarily younger generations, don't fully understand Memorial Day's origins? Beyond barbecues and beach trips marking summer's unofficial start lies a day born from the ashes of the Civil War, where an estimated 750,000 Americans perished fighting each other on home soil. We trace how this commemoration began in 1868 as "Decoration Day," when communities would adorn the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags, and how it gradually transformed into the national observance we know today.Click HERE for the Memorial Day tribute from Hillsdale CollegeHERE ARE MORE RESOURCES FROM REAL GOOD VENTURES:Never miss a good opportunity to learn from a bad boss...Click HERE to get your very own Reference Profile.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a special Memorial Day virtual event on Monday, May 26, 2025, at 7:00pm ET. This live, online conversation invites veterans, families, and friends to gather in an open, heartfelt space to honor and remember those who have fallen in service to our nation. Memorial Day is a time of national reflection and remembrance—a day dedicated to honoring the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday began in the aftermath of the Civil War and has grown into a solemn tradition observed across the country with parades, ceremonies, and personal acts of remembrance. At the Veterans Breakfast Club, where our mission is to create communities of listening around veterans and their stories, we see Memorial Day as a powerful opportunity to ensure that the stories of the fallen continue to be shared and remembered. Our Memorial Day livestream will not be a formal ceremony but a casual, interactive conversation. We invite veterans to speak from the heart about their own experiences, to share memories of comrades who never made it home, and to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in service. Family members, friends, and civilians are also encouraged to participate, whether by sharing a remembrance or simply listening in respect and reflection. We expect the conversation to be deeply moving, as participants express personal stories of sacrifice and loss. By hosting the event in the evening—after parades and public commemorations have ended—we aim to create a quiet, meaningful space for community connection and shared remembrance. Memorial Day is about more than ceremonies; it's about keeping alive the legacies of the fallen through the stories we tell. We're grateful to UPMC for Life for sponsoring this event!

On this Memorial Weekend we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the field of battle, and it has grown to including all who have died in uniform. This day was started in 1868 and called Decoration Day. On May 30th of each year communities would decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War. That evolved to the fallen in all of our nation’s conflicts. 1971 is when Memorial Day became a federal holiday observed the last Monday of May. A day of this kind of remembrance is what the psalms would call a day of lament. As we are doing a series in the Psalms, let’s look at a psalm of national lament, Psalm 79.
Take time today to remember those who sacrificed Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday that's supposed to be about mourning the nation's fallen service members, but it's come to anchor the unofficial start of summer and a long weekend of travel and discounts on anything from mattresses to lawn mowers. Iraq War veteran Edmundo Eugenio Martinez Jr. said the day has lost so much meaning that many Americans "conflate and mix up Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, July Fourth." Social media posts pay tribute to "everyone" who has served, when Memorial Day is about those who died. For him, it's about honoring 17 U.S. service members he knew who lost their lives. "I was either there when they died or they were soldiers of mine, buddies of mine," said Martinez, 48, an Army veteran who lives in Katy, Texas, west of Houston. "Some of them lost the battle after the war." Steve Merando, who has marched in Cold Spring's Memorial Day parade since he was 10 years old, agreed. "People forget that Memorial Day is supposed to be a memorial to those who were killed in action while serving their country," said Merando, who served with the U.S. Navy Seabees from 1969 to 1973, including in Vietnam and Thailand. He played Little League baseball with Keith Livermore, one of three Philipstown residents killed in the Vietnam War. In Memoriam: Philipstown and Beacon Here is a look at the holiday and how it has evolved: When is Memorial Day? It falls on the last Monday of May, which this year is May 26. In Cold Spring, a parade will begin at 9 a.m. at Stone and Main streets and progress to Cold Spring Cemetery in Nelsonville for a ceremony. Hot dogs and refreshments will follow at the American Legion. Rain or shine. In Beacon, a ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. at 413 Main St. It will include the dedication of a plaque to mark the 100th anniversary of the Veterans Memorial Building, which was completed in 1925. Why is Memorial Day celebrated? It's a day of reflection and remembrance of those who died while serving in the U.S. military. The holiday is observed in part by the National Moment of Remembrance, which encourages all Americans to pause at 3 p.m. for a moment of silence. What are the origins of Memorial Day? The holiday's origins can be traced to the American Civil War, which killed more than 600,000 service members - both Union and Confederate - between 1861 and 1865. The first national observance of what was then called Decoration Day occurred on May 30, 1868, after an organization of Union veterans called for decorating war graves with flowers, which were in bloom. The practice was already widespread. Waterloo, New York, in Seneca County, began a formal observance on May 5, 1866, and was later proclaimed to be the holiday's birthplace. Yet Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, traced its first observance to October 1864. And women in some Confederate states were decorating graves before the war's end. David Blight, a Yale history professor, points to May 1, 1865, when as many as 10,000 people, many of them Black, held a parade, heard speeches and dedicated the graves of Union dead in Charleston, South Carolina. A total of 267 Union troops had died at a Confederate prison and were buried in a mass grave. After the war, members of Black churches buried them in individual graves. "What happened in Charleston does have the right to claim to be first, if that matters," Blight told the Associated Press in 2011. When did Memorial Day become a source of contention? As early as 1869, The New York Times wrote that the holiday could become "sacrilegious" and no longer "sacred" if it focused more on pomp, dinners and oratory. In an 1871 Decoration Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass said he feared Americans were forgetting the Civil War's impetus: enslavement. "We must never forget that the loyal soldiers who rest beneath this sod flung themselves between the nation and the nation's destroyers," Douglass said. His concern...

**Discussion begins at 4:45**Memorial Day is the US holiday observed on the last Monday of May, to honor our military personnel who have died in service to the country. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday began after the Civil War to commemorate fallen soldiers, and over time, it expanded to include all U.S. military service members who died in wars and conflicts. It is a day of remembrance and reflection to honor the sacrifices made by the armed forces and their families. Now Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day – which is observed on November 11 of each year, and honors all military veterans who have served both in wartime and peacetime, and recognizes the contributions of all veterans – both living and deceased. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that we are huge supporters of the military and we love our veterans. So in honor of the holiday, I thought we would take a look at some of the other sacrifices our military servicemen and women have made over the years, often without their knowledge. Unfortunately, many of these have proof proof – so they don't really even fall into the “conspiracy theory” realm, but they are definitely conspiracies…Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

How many holidays in May? More than you think? Whatever happened to May Day? Once it was a major holiday with dancing round the maypole; now, not so much. Where did “Mayday, mayday, mayday” as a call for help originate? But the big three holidays are Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day. Where did they originate? What's the Cry of Dolores? Who is Anna Maria Jarvis? And how did Decoration Day morph into Memorial Day. This episode explores the origins and meaning of all three. May Days – more than you think.

What is Decoration Day? Did the South celebrate the 4th of July? As it turns out, the history of the 4th of July is not that straightforward. For example, it took about a century for the recognition of our Independence Day as a federal holiday. And for some 80 years after the Civil war, some parts of the South, including Vicksburg, did not celebrate the 4th of July. It took WWII to create a new sense of nationalism, including the national celebration of the 4th of July. To better understand the history of our Independence Day, I spoke with Dr. Thomas Balcerski, a professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University. For the academic year of 2022-2023, Dr. Balcerski was the Ray Allen Billington Visiting Professor in U.S. History at Occidental College and a Long-Term Fellow at the Huntington Library. Dr. Balcerski has taught courses on early American history, U.S. Presidents and First Ladies, and the history of the Democratic Party, from Thomas Jefferson to Joe Biden. To learn more about Dr. Balcerski, you can visit his academic home pages at Oxy and Eastern CT. By the way, be sure to listen to my conversation in S3E1 with Prof. Joel Richard Paul, he told me something very interesting about the 4th of July - that the reason we celebrate 4th of July is because Thomas Jefferson made it a national holiday, in a self-serving way, to elevate the Declaration of Independence. He added that it was Chief Justice Marshall, President Jefferson's chief detractor and also first cousin, who elevated the Constitution over the Declaration of Independence... But the 4th of July's celebration continued and grow in prominence in our culture. This fascinating episode is available here: https://bit.ly/HbN-S3E1 I hope you enjoy these episodes.

This weekend we've celebrated Memorial Day! Memorial Day for us means a 3 day weekend. Sometimes we have baseball games, that we get rained out of, and sometimes we can sneak in a little camping, a little barbeque in the backyard, some yardwork, and some fun, and it means the end of school and the start of summer!!! Memorial Day was a day that started way back in the 1860s as a day to remember those who passed in the Civil War. It was orinally known as Decoration Day, but has since evolved to Memorial Day and a day we celebrate all Veterans and other family members and friends. How do you remember? Do you go to the graves and headstones and decorate them? Do you have a special tradition, a family food, a treat, or an experience you do to remember? Remember is one of the most important words in our vocabulary. Jeffrey R. Holland said, "The earliest meaning of “to remember” was “to remind.” That is, when you remembered something it was to remind you—to prompt you—to action." In this podcast, we talk about remembering and actions we can take to remember and remind us of the ones who have gone before us. We discuss experiences, the use of stories, and many more! Take the time today to "remember" by listening to this podcast and then TAKE ACTION! Jeffrey R. Holland quote on Remember History of Memorial Day

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have sacrificed in service to our nation. Memorial Day is a time for reflection, remembrance, and gratitude as we pay tribute to those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms and values we hold dear.The origins of Memorial Day can be traced back to the aftermath of the American Civil War, a conflict that tore our nation apart and claimed countless lives. As the war ended in 1865, communities across the country began holding ceremonies to honor the Union and Confederate soldiers who had perished. One of the earliest known ceremonies occurred in Charleston, South Carolina, in May 1865. There, a group of freed slaves gathered to commemorate fallen Union soldiers buried at a local race course, a poignant moment in our nation's history.The first national observance of Memorial Day, then Decoration Day, was declared by General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic on May 5, 1868. He designated this day as a time to decorate the fallen graves with flowers and hold ceremonies in their honor. The name "Decoration Day" reflected this tradition of adorning the final resting places of our heroes with blooms of respect and remembrance.As the years passed, Memorial Day evolved into a day of national significance, honoring all Americans who died while serving in the military. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a federal holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, giving us a designated day to remember and honor our fallen heroes.Today, Memorial Day is marked by parades, speeches, and ceremonies at military cemeteries and other sites nationwide. We gather in towns and cities, at monuments and memorials, to ensure that the sacrifices of our service members are never forgotten. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the true cost of freedom and the bravery of those who have defended it with their lives.As we stand here today, let us reflect on the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of the men and women who have died in service to our country. Their legacy is one of honor and valor, and their memory inspires us to strive for a future worthy of their sacrifice. Let us also remember the families of our fallen heroes, who carry the weight of loss every day. Their strength and resilience are a testament to the enduring spirit of our nation.Today, take a second or two to bow your head in silence to honor those who have given everything for the United States of America. May we never forget their sacrifice and continue to uphold the values and freedoms they fought for.Thank you. This is a public episode.

Monday is Memorial Day, a day that got lost when it was turned into a weekend, and someday we'll turn it back into a day, which it was for a hundred years. Decoration Day. After the bloody Civil War, flowers were placed on the graves of the war dead. One of those times when the country is united. This is our observance of Memorial Day, a poem entitled “They Were So Young.” This is a public episode.

Remembering James Garfield's powerful Decoration Day address at Arlington National Cemetery and honoring the fallen Union soldiers who sacrificed for our country. Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/a-tribute-to-the-fallen-james-garfields-decoration-day-address
Dave Plier and Dave Schwan talk about the true meaning of Memorial Day, which originated as ‘Decoration Day' after the Civil War and was officially signed into law in 1967. Plus, Dave shares President Ronald Reagan's moving Memorial Day speech from 1984.
The Memorial Day holiday that we are about to celebrate began as a way of honoring the 620,000 men who lost lives in the Civil War. That number does not account for the loss of civilain life. “Decoration Day” as it was originally known could also be seen as an attempt to collectively process the profound experience of grief and trauma among the people who had lived through the reality of war in their country; between their own people; over the enslavement of other people forcibly brought to this country.It is hard for most us to really fathom the depth of pain and conflict held in this experience. There is still a level of resistance to even speaking about this history, let alone feeling the weight that it holds. Yet, it remains within our shared collective consciousness. If we can actually tune in, we can feel it.How might our world change if we could actually, and honestly express our grief and trauma instead of avoiding, numbing and projecting it? It begins by courageously meeting our own personal experiences of loss with love and compassion rather than stoicism, denial and avoidance. Otherwise we are tempted to seek revenge, or a heightened sense of righteousness when faced with our own feelings of betrayal, confusion and grief that are part of our human experience. War can be seen as the ultimate act of revenge and dominance and it comes with a heavy cost for us all.In Truth, there are no borders or boundaries to our Oneness. What we do to another we ultimately do to ourselves. May our deepening realization of this Truth result in a widening of our shared solidarity with all of humanity.Only together can we bare the collective loss of the millions of sons and daughters lost in the act of war throughout history. There are currently over 110 active armed conflicts in our world. As we courageously hold the depth of this grief together, we are also supported in envisioning a future where the depth of our connectedness boldly leads us through our perceived differences and ensuing conflicts without the devastating loss of life that humanity continues to endure.This is what it means to realize a spiritually awakened world living Oneness. This is the vision we hold together in community at Unity of Denver.
BH365 Moment in HistoryMemorial Day HistoryHonoring and mourning the US military men and women who died while serving to protect our country, as well as those that now serving. Also honoring their families who sacrifice their support and love these brave soldiers. We thank you and love you. Did you know? Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.It is unclear where exactly this tradition originated; numerous different communities may have independently initiated the memorial gatherings. And some records show that one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations was organized by a group of formerly enslaved people in Charleston, South Carolina less than a month after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865. Nevertheless, in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day.Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2024 will occur on Monday, May 27th. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.Early Observances of Memorial DayThe Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country's first national cemeteries.By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.Decoration DayOn May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed.The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn't the anniversary of any particular battle.History of Memorial DayMemorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.Taken from www.history.comPicture Art: Hendrick House-University of IL

This weekend is a very special time! Tomorrow, Memorial Day, is a special day that that has been set aside to remember! So, I thought I would jump ahead in our Joshua study to this next chapter for a few days to help us make this a special time of remembrance. At 8 am in the morning, I personally have the opportunity to join with some veterans in my military community, Sneads Ferry NC, Mimosa Bay just outside Camp Lejeune, to get on some boats and go out to an island on Alligator Bay and hold a memorial service. For this past two years I've been asked to say a few words and have a prayer remembering those who died in service for our country. It is a very special time. What do you think of when you think of Memorial Day - the beginning of summer vacation, barbecues in the back yard, family get-togethers? In most churches Memorial Day is ignored because it is not one of the holy days on the church calendar. But I believe that it would be good for us to consider what Memorial Day really represents, for its very name calls us to remember. The ability to remember is a wonderful gift God has given us. In a flash we can be a child again, skipping rocks across a pond, or walking in a meadow. Through memory we can fall in love, get married, & enjoy our children all over again. All this is possible through the blessing of memory. Some of our memories are happy as we recall wonderful experiences. But some are sad, & we may weep as we remember them. Memories are also very practical. If we couldn't remember that a red light means “stop” we'd be in trouble. If you weren't able to remember what day it is, or your anniversary or wife's birthday – you'd be in big trouble. So memories are practical. The problem, though, is that sometimes memory fails us. Sometimes we forget. There are events that we should never forget. And Memorial Day commemorates some of them. Many wars have been fought in the history of our great country to both win and preserve our freedom. This special day started near the end of the Civil War. And within a few years the practice of placing flowers on military graves had spread throughout both the north & south & was being called by almost everyone, “Decoration Day.” Then, after WW1 it became a national holiday dedicated to remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that we enjoy. And it is also a day upon which we remember our loved ones who have gone on before. God knows that we forget for to quickly and very easily. The word “remember” is used over 148 times in the Bible. Most to time referring to God telling His people to not forget but to remember something!!!! Here in Joshua 4, God told Joshua and Israel to set up 12 memorial stones so that whenever future generation saw this pile of stones, they would ask what it meant. A Memorial represents an event, incident, time, or occasion that we should not forget. We should set up a stone to call you back to God's greatness, faithfulness, love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, power and His presence in our life. We will find many similar times in the Bible where instructed the people to do something so they would not forget the event. The first stone should be our spiritual birthdate! In Exodus 12:14, Israel was instructed to remember the Passover. “This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.” My spiritual birthday is February 21, 1971. On that day, I received the Lord Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior and my life forever changed! Do you have a spiritual birthday? If not, why not make this day that very special day in your life! God bless!
In this special segment, "Three Good Things," we delve into the true origins of Memorial Day, a day deeply rooted in American history and marked by profound significance. Contrary to popular belief, the first Memorial Day observance took place on May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina, where thousands of freed African Americans honored fallen Union soldiers. We also explore the poignant legacy of John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields," which gave us the poppy as a symbol of remembrance. Join us as we reflect on the sacrifices made by soldiers and the enduring pain of those they left behind.
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day when I was growing up. It was a day we would go around and decorate the graves of those who had given their lives for our country. It was also a day when we remembered all loved ones who had passed on, whether they were in the military or not. And it used to always be on May 30th, not just the last Monday in May.

On this week's episode of The Album Atmosphere, David sits down with Chris Passage to discuss the 2003 southern rock masterpiece by the Drive-By Truckers, "Decoration Day".
What is Decoration Day? Did the South celebrate the 4th of July? As it turns out, the history of the 4th of July is not that straightforward. For example, it took about a century for the recognition of our Independence Day as a federal holiday. And for some 80 years after the Civil war, some parts of the South, including Vicksburg, did not celebrate the 4th of July. It took WWII to create a new sense of nationalism, including the national celebration of the 4th of July. To better understand the history of our Independence Day, I spoke with Dr. Thomas Balcerski, a professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University. For the academic year of 2022-2023, Dr. Balcerski was the Ray Allen Billington Visiting Professor in U.S. History at Occidental College and a Long-Term Fellow at the Huntington Library. Dr. Balcerski has taught courses on early American history, U.S. Presidents and First Ladies, and the history of the Democratic Party, from Thomas Jefferson to Joe Biden. To learn more about Dr. Balcerski, you can visit his academic home pages at Oxy and Eastern CT. By the way, be sure to listen to my conversation in S3E1 with Prof. Joel Richard Paul, he told me something very interesting about the 4th of July - that the reason we celebrate 4th of July is because Thomas Jefferson made it a national holiday, in a self-serving way, to elevate the Declaration of Independence. He added that it was Chief Justice Marshall, President Jefferson's chief detractor and also first cousin, who elevated the Constitution over the Declaration of Independence... But the 4th of July's celebration continued and grow in prominence in our culture. This fascinating episode is available here: https://bit.ly/HbN-S3E1 I hope you enjoy these episodes.

Every year I post this solo piano piece in remembrance of the fallen men and women in our armed forces. Fron Chat GPT: Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed in the United States to honor and remember the men and women who have died while serving in the country's armed forces. It is a day of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect and defend the nation. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May each year. It has its roots in the aftermath of the American Civil War, which resulted in the deaths of a large number of soldiers. Originally known as Decoration Day, it was established as a time to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags. Over time, Memorial Day has evolved to become a more general observance of remembrance for all military personnel who have died in service to the country. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, participate in parades, and hold commemorative ceremonies. It is also a time for families and friends to gather, enjoy outdoor activities, and express gratitude for the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces. In addition to honoring the fallen, Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of the summer season in the United States, with many people taking advantage of the long weekend to enjoy barbecues, picnics, and other outdoor activities. ……………………..
