Today's Encouragement: Memorial Day

05/27/24 at 03:00 AM

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. - Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1865
Editor's Note: Our American Memorial Day was initiated in 1866 and formalized in 1868 as "Decoration Day" in response to the many soldiers' deaths--on both sides--of the Civil War. Click here for history from the Veterans Administration
