Memorial Day and Veterans Day: Origins, Laws, and Observances

Our podcast will detail the history and legislative foundation of Memorial Day, emphasizing its evolution from post-Civil War tributes into a formal federal holiday. While the government officially recognizes Waterloo, New York, as the holiday's birthplace, Rusty and Karen will highlight various alternative origins, including a significant early ceremony held by formerly enslaved people in Charleston. Follow us on social media, visit our webpage, and perhaps buy us a cup of coffee.Support the showVisit us at www. katzia.org
