Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
What is the real Memorial Day ? When ? Why? Where?
Memorial Day came about during our Civil War. Southern ladies wanted to honor the fallen soldiers.
In 1868 General Logan picked May 30 as Memorial Day. His reasoning was there had been no major battles on that day during the Civil War.
For these reasons I believe May 30 is the Real MEMORIAL DAY!
Our Memorial Day program will be on May 30, at 10 a.m. on KLTZ.
American Flags will be placed at the cemetery at 9 a.m. Saturday May 28. Come Help!
Sincerely,
Joe Yeoman
A proud American Veteran
