Memorial Day, 26 May 2025. First, Decoration Day, commencing just after the Civil War, Later, became Memorial Day to remember the fallen in all wars. Unfolding are heroic stories, related by those who accomplished and survived; But, as well, there are many stories of suffering and death. On this day, we should also remember those relatively few Who have striven and strive now to stop war as a means to solve differences. There must come a time when resolving problems with violence Will be unheard of and never chosen as a solution. Frank Maurer 26 May 2025 1410 Hours.
