Memorial Day began in the United States on May 30, 1868, after the
Civil War had ended. Flowers were put on the graves of both sides, in
order to help heal the nation. It was later expanded to include all
men who had died in America's wars. It is now celebrated on the last
Monday of May.
Here at Alphabet Soup, we want to honor the men who fought in these battles, both dead and alive. Plaques, with the names of your loved ones, will be included on the site. Plaques in memory of the men who died and plaques in honor of the men still alive.
Here is a copy of the plaque that will be commemorating your loved ones. Please fill out the form on the next page or contact me with the information and the plaque will be up shortly.
