Opinions differ about the exact origin of Memorial Day but there seems to be some consensus that it was first widely observed in 1868 to honor the estimated 360,222 who died serving the Union during the Civil War.
Note To Greenwich Citizen And The Chain Newspaper's Publisher And Editors:
Actions Speak Louder Than Mere Words !!!
It is so easy for the Greenwich Citizen's Chain Newspaper Publisher and Editors to sit behind a desk and pontificate about the the rights that Americans enjoy, because so many paid the ultimate cost.
But it was to hard for the Greenwich Citizen's Chain Newspaper Publisher and Editors to get off their butts and cover democracy in action.
The Greenwich Citizen turned a blind eye to Greenwich High School students who exercised their free speech rights and wore "Don't Tase Me Bro" T-shirts to school to protest a fellow 140 pound water balloon throwing student getting up to 50,000 volts three different times.
Greenwich Citizen ignored ignored the towns youngest patriots as they engaged in an act of civil disobedience and stagged a sit in in the Greenwich High School Student Center and refused to go to class wearing those, "Don't Tase Me Bro" T-shirts.
It is a shame that minor children are not afraid of the powers that be, but the Publisher and Editors of the Greenwich Citizen are to afraid of upsetting the establishment to cover the news.
Also take a look at Greenwich Citizen Reporter Laura Carlson's amateurish reporting. It looks like someone didn't pay attention in their high school journalism class.
