Memorial Day is fast approaching and people will be taking to the roadways, river ways and beaches to celebrate. We owe a debt of gratitude for this 3 day weekend to those who have fought to insure this freedom.Traditionally thought of as the start of Summer, sometimes the real meaning of Memorial Day gets lost in vacations and the multitude of commercial bargains available on that last weekend in May. Memorial Day dates back to the Civil War when “The Ladies of the South” decorated the graves of fallen confederate soldiers with poppies. To knowledge known today, the “Buddy” Poppy Program is still carried on by VFW Posts selling poppies made by America's Disabled Veterans. Although Memorial Day is still observed throughout the country, it’s observance is somewhat diminished. Originally, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30, but due to the National Holiday Act of 1971, Congress passed to move the holiday to the last Monday in May providing for a 3-Day weekend. Many thought that this change undermined the real meaning of Memorial Day and Americans became nonchalant as to the true meaning of the day. It is asked today, that at 3:00pm on Memorial Day, that Americans take a moment from whatever they may be doing to observe a moment of silence to those that serve(d) in remembrance.
In observance of the 3 day weekend, many retailers remember the men and women that continue to facilitate free enterprise in this country. HouserShoes.com is no exception. While remembering the true meaning of this day, HouserShoes.com offers savings and specials for the entire family.
