Rue Insurance honors all the service men & women who have bravely fallen to save our freedoms. This Memorial Day may we all take a moment of silence to remember their sacrifice.
The origins of Memorial Day actually has its own history. The day was originally called Decoration Day to honor those soldiers who died during the Civil War. Eventually, in 1971, the U.S. Congress declared the last Monday in May as Memorial Day to honor all soldiers who have fallen in all U.S. wars and engagements.
For a complete history, see the document from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
