    Memorial Day History 

    Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.   … The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”    (Yes, we call that Divine Mercy Hour and we Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy +mtc)
    “After going through all that he went through, it was his strongest desire and greatest goal to get back with his unit and serve his country again,” his brother said.
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Don’t count on the President or the Congress to mark this day .. it is after all   “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (Out of many, One).  You be the one that stands with the other ones.   http://www.greatseal.com/mottoes/unum.html ;

    According to the U.S. Treasury, the motto E pluribus unum was first used on U.S. coinage in 1795, when the reverse of the half-eagle ($5 gold) coin presented the main features of the Great Seal of the United States. E pluribus unum is inscribed on the Great Seal’s scroll. The motto was added to certain silver coins in 1798, and soon appeared on all of the coins made out of precious metals (gold and silver). In 1834, it was dropped from most of the gold coins to mark the change in the standard fineness of the coins. In 1837, it was dropped from the silver coins, marking the era of the Revised Mint Code. An Act of February 12, 1873 made the inscription a requirement of law upon the coins of the United States. E pluribus unum appears on all coins currently being manufactured, including the Presidential dollars that started being produced in 2007, where it is inscribed on the edge along with “In God We Trust” and the year and mint mark.   (This is taken from a 2007 article .. not exactly up to date).
     
    By the way .. have you looked at the newest edition of the $1 coin that was minted this year, 2010 AD?  
    Please do take a close look at that one. 
    It depicts a past  president and an interesting turn of phrase. 

    Our U.S. Congress sure was busy this last week.  The promised “change” has arrived. 
    May God Have Mercy on us all.

    In His Divine Mercy,

    In God We Trust!
