    Memorial Day Trivia
  
   •  Over two dozen cities
      claim to be the birthplace
      of Memorial Day.
   
   •  Memorial Day was
      officially proclaimed on
      May 5, 1868 by General
      John Logan. It was
      observed for the first time
      on May 30, 1868 when
      flowers were placed on the
      graves of Union and
      Confederate Soldiers at
      Arlington National        
      Cemetery.

      state to officially recognize
      the holiday in 1873.

    •  By 1890 Memorial Day
      was recognized by all the
      northern states. The South
      refused to acknowledge the
      day until after World War I
      when the holiday changed
      from honoring those who
      died in the Civil War to
      honoring Americans who
      died in any war.

    •  At least 8 southern states
      still have an additional
      separate holiday to honor
      those who died fighting in
      the Civil War.

      and respect.
