<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Copper Head, post: 1192597, member: 26489&quot;]Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day. People decorated the graves of fallen soldiers who had been killed during the War Between the States. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
