Memorial Day reflections on liberty and sacrifice
The piece recalls the first Decoration Day observed on Confederate soil in 1866 with eight volunteers who placed flowers on Belle Isle graves. It traces Memorial Day’s evolution through 1867 to 1868 under Gen. Logan, urging patriotic observance of the day beyond mere holiday. The author cites J. M. Bradbury and calls for honoring soldiers and advancing liberty.
