"..... the living......"? My prospective has always been Decoration Day is when we reflect on our citizens that paid the ultimate price in the service of the country. Supposedly it's roots started with the decoration of solders graves with spring flowers after the American Civil War . A special time to recognize the living veterans was set at the end of WWI when the Armistice was signed on November 11th.
