When John Logan saw the division of the civil war in the United States he looked for an event which would help reunite the people. With that goal in mind he established this day, originally called "Decoration Day," Logan it is said sought a date upon which no civil war battles had been fought, and, a time when flowers which he said should decorate the graves of the brave, were available, hence it is May 31st. We do, when we celebrate Memorial Day, we do to some extent memorialize the man who is responsible for it? We cannot help but also remember all who have gone before us, and created what we have today. Going as far back in history as you care to go, change any of those circumstances and there is a good possibility that we aren't here today? I don't know about you but I like where we are and would like to keep it? But I wonder what sort of world we are passing on?
| 1Sa 7:12 | Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, [fn] saying, "Thus far has the Lord helped us." |
