Memorial Day 2025 and Donald's Poopy Diapers

This is a very, very brief  history of this important national holiday:

Memorial Day originated in the aftermath of the Civil War, initially as "Decoration Day," to honor Union soldiers who died in the conflict. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868, as proclaimed by the Grand Army of the Republic. The holiday evolved to honor all U.S. military personnel who have died in service.

Civil War Roots:
Memorial Day's roots lie in the period following the Civil War, a conflict that resulted in the deaths of more than 600,000 soldiers.

Decoration Day:
In the late 1860s, communities began decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, an act that became known as Decoration Day.

Formalization:
In 1868, General John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans, formally designated May 30 as a national day to remember the Civil War dead.

National Holiday:
While widely observed, Memorial Day was officially recognized as a federal holiday in 1971.

HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

which is not a surprise.
