Today we observe Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day. Decoration Day was originally founded to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War. Now, on Memorial Day, which is officially on May 30, we remember all Americans who died during war. Gretchen and I thought it would be a good week to write about Patriotism. What does Patriotism mean to you?

Write about Patriotism any day this week, and then come back on Friday, May 30, to read Gretchen and my thoughts on Patriotism.
