Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer — it is a day of reflection, gratitude, and honor.

At Union Drummer Boy, we are privileged to preserve the history and stories of those who served before us. Every artifact, photograph, and relic is a reminder that freedom has always come at a cost.

As we gather with family and friends today, may we also take a moment to remember the sacrifices made by generations of American heroes who never made it home.
We honor their courage. We remember their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

History nerd alert 🚨

Decoration Day, the predecessor to modern Memorial Day, emerged in the years following the Civil War as a solemn day of remembrance for the nation’s war dead. First widely observed on May 30, 1868, after being proclaimed by General John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, the day was devoted to decorating soldiers’ graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags. Communities across the North—and later the reunited nation—held parades, cemetery ceremonies, speeches, and veterans’ gatherings to honor those who had fallen in service. Over time, Decoration Day evolved into Memorial Day, officially becoming a federal holiday in the 20th century dedicated to remembering all American military personnel who died in defense of the United States.
