I was gladdened to see so many visitors at the cemetery doing just what your family did - tidying up graves. <br /><br />I don't really read war books (if I can help it) and can only think of two Civil War-era books that I have read: 'The Red Badge of Courage' and 'Gone With the Wind'. How about you?Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-50680484839735635572013-05-28T15:16:30.583-04:002013-05-28T15:16:30.583-04:00Thank you for the information on Memorial Day.

We always used it as a day to tidy up the graves of family members, and I never was aware of it as honoring the military until I started watching TV news as an adult.
