Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday for remembering those who died while serving in the country’s armed forces as well as our veterans who have passed away. Also called Decoration Day, Memorial Day originated “three years after the close of the American Civil War (1861-1865) to decorate the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country,” according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. From that time on the observance was conducted by the Grand Army of the Republic. kAmx?

My thanks to Bill and Judy Scheeren for the handwritten Mozart Hall card that arrived last week. How thoughtful of them to think of a fellow Baggaley Elementary School/Latrobe High School classmate. Their note: “Louise, Judy and I want to wish you our heartiest congratulations on you being named one of the American Legion Civic Award recipients this year. It is well deserved and is a great reflection on you.
