Memorial Day and Its Observance
T HE first official observance of May 30th as a day for the decoration of the graves of the Union dead followed a proclamation issued from the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic on May 5. 1860, by General John A. Logan. commander in chief. This order read :
"The 30th of May. 1868. is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, hamlet and church-yard in the land. In this observation no form of ceremony is prescribed. but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
"We are organized. comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things, 'of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together soldiers, sailors and marines who united together to suppress the late rebellion.'
"What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foes? Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race in chains and their deaths the tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely in such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners.
Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect. no ravages of time. testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.
"If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack and other hearts grow cold in the solemn trust, our shall keep it well as long as the light and warth of life remain to us.
"Let us, then, at the time appointed gather around the sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of spring- time. Let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor. Let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us, a sacred charge upon a nation's gratitude. the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
"It is the purpose of the commander in chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year while a survivor of the war remains po honor the memory of his departed comrades.
