About This Newsletter

Memorial Day or Decoration Day (as my grandparents called it) always brings back memories. It is one of those days that make me both happy and sad.


Letter from the editor

When I was a child, my grandmother begin a week before preparing for Memorial Day. She would purchase crepe paper and pipe cleaners. Next she would make crepe paper flowers. Grandma made enough flowers to put on the graves of relatives who had served in World War One and World War Two.

I don't know if they had died in those wars or after them. I do know that some of them had been wounded and came back home with problems caused by their experiences in battle.

On Memorial Day, grandma packed a picnic lunch and grandpa would drive us to the cemeteries where our relatives were buried. Once at a cemetery we would put the flowers grandma made on the graves of the soldiers. Sometimes grandma or grandpa would mention something about the person.

I always felt a spiritual presence at those grave sites. Now on Memorial Day I say a prayer for the departed for those who died in battle or as an results of their wounds.
