'Turnback Tuesday' features Memorial Day history
Turnback Tuesday remembers Memorial Day, or Decoration Day.
Decoration Day was originally designated on May 30, 1868 with the first celebration taking place at Arlington National Cemetery.
The purpose was to decorate the graves of those who died in the defense of their country. At the turn of the century, it was designated Memorial Day.
The tradition continues of honoring those in Derby every Memorial Day by decorating the graves of our fallen soldiers.
The John J. Collins Post 24 is supplied with flags from the Shelton/Derby Memorial Day Parade Committee. These flags are then distributed and placed by legionnaires and volunteers at the grave markers of those who served in any war in all the cemeteries in Derby. The flags are then collected and properly disposed of by the legion in a Retirement Service & Ceremony.

Thank you to Michael Klubek Sr. Post 24 Commander for his help with today's post.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
