Memorial Day 2009
It is time to talk about Memorial Day which is a legal holiday
observed on the fourth Monday in May.
On May 5, 1866 Waterloo residents first observed Memorial Day
to honor soldiers killed in the American Civil War. The United States
government in 1966 proclaimed Waterloo, New York as the birthplace
of this holiday. It is also called Decoration Day and is a day to
honor all Americans who gave their lives, in any war, for our country.
