How Do You Wish To Be When You Are 85
Placing Flowers For All
In 1866, in the wake of our Civil War, the Ladies' Memorial Association in Georgia decided that they would designate a day to throw flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. However, they didn't want it to be an isolated event, so they asked newspapers to share the idea.
People across the South followed their lead and rested flowers on the confederate graves, but some noticed interspersed union graves left empty, so they started placing flowers on these graves as well.
Their action was a ripple that got published everywhere and led to the creation of Memorial Day in 1868.
