SUMMARY:GAR Observance of Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Grand Army of the Republic Observance of Memorial Day – 157th Anniversary \n\n\n\n\nMemorial Day\, originally called Decoration Day\, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. \nMemorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead. It was officially proclaimed on May 5\, 1868 by General John Logan\, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic\, in his General Order No. 11\, and was first observed on May 30\, 1868\, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. A month after the order was given\, Congress established a national day of commemoration and decoration. \nAfter World War I the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war. \nThough generations separate us from Logan’s words\, his orders speak broadly to all American\, and his guidance offers three practical ways for us to observe Memorial Day: \nRemember the Fallen\, Remember Their Cause\, Serve Their Families

SUMMARY:160th Anniversary of the Grand Army of the Republic
DESCRIPTION:The Grand Army of the Republic was founded on April 6\, 1866\, on the principles of “Fraternity\, Charity and Loyalty\,” in Decatur\, Illinois\, by Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson. The GAR was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army\, Navy and Marines who served in the American Civil War. The organization grew to include thousands of veterans and posts across the United States. \nLinking men through their experience of the war\, the GAR became among the first organized advocacy groups in American politics\, supporting voting rights for black veterans\, promoting patriotic education\, helping to make Memorial Day a national holiday\, lobbying Congress to establish regular veterans’ pensions\, and supporting Republican political candidates. Its peak membership\, at 410\,000\, was in 1890\, a high point of various Civil War commemorative and monument dedication ceremonies. It was dissolved in 1956 at the death of its last member\, Albert Woolson.

SUMMARY:GAR Observance of Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Grand Army of the Republic Observance of Memorial Day – 158th Anniversary \n\n\n\n\nMemorial Day\, originally called Decoration Day\, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. \nMemorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead. It was officially proclaimed on May 5\, 1868 by General John Logan\, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic\, in his General Order No. 11\, and was first observed on May 30\, 1868\, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. A month after the order was given\, Congress established a national day of commemoration and decoration. \nAfter World War I the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war. \nThough generations separate us from Logan’s words\, his orders speak broadly to all American\, and his guidance offers three practical ways for us to observe Memorial Day: \nRemember the Fallen\, Remember Their Cause\, Serve Their Families
