Memorial Day was first declared as a national holiday in 1868 by John Logan, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. Its purpose is to remember and honor those men and women who have served or are serving in the Armed Services of the United States of America, and especially those who have given their lives in the service of our country.
