My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Corner. Three years after the Civil War ended, the head of an organization of Union veterans established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Decoration Day has now come to be known as Memorial Day, the day we honor those military members who have given their lives to secure our nation’s freedoms. As we honor them, let’s pray for our military members. In addition to their physical safety let us also pray for their spiritual and eternal well being.“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial.” Excerpted from Exodus 12:14 (KJV).
