I LOVE AMERICA and all the freedoms we are blessed with in this country! In honor of those freedoms, and the men and women who have helped protect them for us, I thought this wall hanging would be perfect for the upcoming holiday!
I looked up Memorial Day in Wikipedia to see what they had to say about it:
"Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May.[1] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. (Southern ladies organizations and southern schoolchildren had decorated Confederate graves in Richmond and other cities during the Civil War, but each region had its own date. Most dates were in May.) By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2]
By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military or not."
So . . . here's what you need to do to be eligible to win one of these wall hangings:
