I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ~Benjamin Harrison
LGBTQ* Memorial Day/Vintage Soldiers Appreciation Post
Memorial Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the last Monday in May. It originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the war. The South had a remembrance day (also in May) but the day was not celebrated jointly until the beginning of the 20th century. Formally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day has become a day to remember all those who have served and fallen during a time of war.
Where does she find these photos? I don’t know, but they’re brilliant.
Viva La VidCon →
So if you haven’t already heard, King of the Web is teaming up with VidCon to create the Viva La VidCon contest. Being a relatively minuscule YouTuber (in terms of subscribers, though I’m short as well,) I don’t expect tons of votes, but why not try? I would appreciate any and all of your votes, and if it’s not too much to ask, I would love if you could share it with your friends! :) I’m sorry for hassling you to help me in a contest, but I… have no excuse. I’m hassling you to help me in a contest.
EDIT: Btw, the title to this post is a link to my King of the Web page!
