Safe and Happy Memorial Day 2023 for Jean-Luc Andriot blog 052923  

Memorial Day, also known as Decoration Day, has its origins rooted in honoring and remembering the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our country.

Ann Reeves Jarvis was a social activist who had organized groups of women to work on public health issues, and Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother's work by creating a holiday
