“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you… My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” ~ John 15:9, 12-13 ~ Memorial Day weekend. The unofficial beginning of Summer. So much to do. Parades, picnics, finally a chance to get away now that the kids are out of school, the Indy 500, baseball games — none are bad choices! However, let’s not forget to not forget. In April 1863, in Columbus, Mississippi, a group of ladies gathered at a local cemetery to decorate the graves of fallen Confederate soldiers. After decorating graves of her two sons who served during the Civil War as Confederate soldiers, an elderly woman also decorated two mounds at the corner of the cemetery. An observer asked, “What are you doing? Those are the graves of two Union soldiers.” The reply, “I know. I also know that somewhere in the North, a mother or a young wife mourns for them as we do for ours.” That little band of ladies set in motion what has become Memorial Day.
