Day. The Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army, issued this order: "This thirtieth day of May is designated for the purpose of strewing flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defence of their country." Through the years, the date has been changed by Congressional action. Today, this same tradition is carried out throughout the country.

This respect is paid to our millions of Americans who sacrificed their lives so that we may live in the free country we have today. It is our Christian and American obligation to honor these who died fighting for freedom and democracy, whethere they died 50 years ago or last week. One hour a year on Memorial Day is a very small token to give to those who gave their all for us. A Memorial Day parade on Monday, May 25, in Walkerton, is being planned by the American
