I've already put my four US flags up. I would have liked to have them up Saturday and Sunday, but we had too many storms, but today looks like a good one on the weather front.
Of course, this day began after the Civil War, originally as Decoration Day as part of an effort of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization composed of former members of the Union Army.
It has grown to honor the veterans of all US wars, both before and since.
This would also include those who served the Confederacy. They were American soldiers as well.
Sad to see that Columbia, Missouri, has decided not only not to allow Confederate re-enactors to march in their Memorial Day parade, but Union and even Revolutionary War ones as well. Shame on that city.
