Today, we remember and honor all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. This holiday dates back to the American Civil War. Originally, it was known widely as decoration day. However, it was formally recognized as Memorial Day in 1868.

At that time, General John A. Logan, the leader of a political organization, called the "Grand Army of the Republic", made up of Union Army veterans, issued General Orders Number 11. This established Memorial Day as the time when the nation would remember those who died in battle and decorate their graves with flowers.
