In Remembrance ... Memorial Day

The folks at the Librarian's Index to the Internet share interesting websites with me every week. Today's e-mail includes "Material about the Memorial Day holiday, including origins (covering when people decorated the graves of Civil War dead, 1971 when Memorial Day was set as the last Monday in May, and related events); "The Last Salute," a publication of "accounts of funerals conducted for civil and military officials, active and retired, and for the unknown servicemen of three wars between 1921 and 1969"; and images. From the U.S. Army Center of Military History."
