Some form of this holiday has been in existence for over 150 years, but it was not until 1971 that congress officially created Memorial Day, a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May.
This year the holiday will be special. For 24 hours no politician will lie about elections, taxes, or the opposition party. They will seek ways to honor those that have served our nation and sacrificed all to assure everyone in our country will have access to affordable education, adequate healthcare and to see that no child goes to bed hungry. They will not engage in insider trading, bearing false witness and do nothing to callously enrich themselves.
They will do this because…MAGIC IS REAL!
