While everyone is cooking out and enjoying the fine Mississippi weather this weekend, please take a moment to remember this origin of this holiday and why---

https://visitcolumbusms.org/places-to-visit/friendship-cemetery-c-1849/

"Founded in 1849, Friendship Cemetery was the site of the first Decoration Day in 1866, which led to the modern Memorial Day observance."

Lest we forget our Confederate heroes.
