”Outside the Mixing Bowl"
MEMORIAL DAY is almost here!!
According to the Library of Congress, it wasn't until 1950 that Congress would agree upon a resolution asking the president to "issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe...Memorial Day, by praying, each in accordance with his religious faith, for permanent peace." Nearly 20 years later in 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was finally passed, which both declared that Memorial Day would take place on the last Monday in May and required that federal employees be granted a day off. In 1971, Memorial Day officially became a federal holiday intended to observe and honor the people who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military.
Praying for peace over the United States of America while remembering those who gave ALL, so that you and I can be free.
There are parades and the first cook-outs and picnics of the season celebrating the honor of the honorable— those who died serving in the U.S. Military.
