My error !
Today " Memorial Day " was originally called
" Decoration Day ". It was a day set aside to honor all of those who died in the Civil War .
The practice was to visit graves of the fallen and place flowers on their resting place .
What we now call " Veterans Day " was originally established to honor those who gave their lives in WW-I and was called " Remembrance Day " .
