Memorial Day 2015

7th Volunteer Company, Union Army Civil War Re-Enactment at our Historical Village Saturday May, 24 2015

In 1868 the 30th of May was declared Declaration Day, to honor all the soldiers who died in the War Between The States, known as The Civil War.

750,000 died in that war, the most in any of America's history. In 1971 the last Monday of May was dedicated as Memorial Day to honor the dead from all wars.

That war is sometimes called the American Apocalypse

Today we honor the fallen

This is a Link to United States military Casualties since The American Revolution, and the numbers are staggering.

And since only the dead have seen the end of war, the numbers continue to climb. God Bless our Soldiers
