vided republic.
—General Orders No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic Headquarters[1].
a quick update.
i read the Wikipedia article on Memorial Day and learned a lot of interesting facts that have previously eluded me (the birthplace of memorial day is waterloo, ny; the holiday was first observed as a tribute to union soldiers; it was previously called "decoration day"; it was first celebrated in 1865 by freed slaves at a Confederate prison camp who dug up and reinterred Union soldiers.)
we will be in ny this weekend.
