All units who wish to particapate. or any and all groups, are more than welcome to join the parade. There will be refreshments for particapating marchers. The first order for the observance of Memorial Day was issued in May 1868 by Gen. John A. Logan of the Grand Anny of the Republic "for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country." For many years after the Civil war. the GAR in the North and the Confederate Veterans in the South took charge of the Memorial Day observances in their respective communities. When these organizations became unable to carry on actively these rites, the American Legion pledged to help perpetuate the annual observance of Memorial day. Although it began as an occasion to commemorate the dead of all wars. Memorial Day has since become a time for the decoration of graves of family and friends. In urging the widest possible participation by Walkerton residents in the Memorial Day rites. Commander Flaugher referred to the following excerpts from General Ligan's original order: "Let no . . . avarice or ne' lect, no ravages of time, testify to present or coming generations that we have forgotten as ape pie the cost of a free and undivided republic." Post 189 reminded that she observance of Memorial Day in Walkerton should mdudi the display of the United States Flag by every Iv mt- and busint ss firm.
