Unrest stirred the niral coun
tryside. Where farmers gathered
for business and local gossip, the
unrest stirred and simmered
through ongoing discussion and
debate.
Bought goods were costly. Lux
uries were almost completely out
of reach for much of the rural
populace.
Then, the despised possibility
of a tax on tea became reality.
Under force of the hated tax, the
weakening political dam, holding
back the churning forces of
frustration and rebellion, finally
cracked, and then split completely
apart.
Angry farmers, hastily organ
ized into a mere resemblance of
military militia, but armed with
the passion for freedom, fired
those first shots that would forever
alter history’s course.
For freedom.
Our forefathers and mothers
forsook that which was close, and

comfortable, and familiar for free
dom. They bid farewell forever to
loved ones and homelands. For
freedom.
And, countless have given their
lives since that time.
For freedom.
The American Revolution was
just the beginning of sacrifice of
lives in pursuit of those freedoms
which have become synonymous
with America. Other bitter con
flicts followed in 1812, the
Civil War, Spanish-American
fighting, the war to end all wars,
World War I, a tragic successor
when it didn’t. World War 11, the
Korean conflict, the tragedy of
Vietnam.
Among my childhood memo
ries are vivid recollections of clus
ters of folks, heads bowed, bear
ing bouquets of spring flowers,
gathered in the cemetery of the
nearby, small town where we
attended church. Large flags flut
tered in the late May breeze, while
old soldiers stood at attention in
uniforms that had seen them
through less quiet moments.
Peonies, red and white, almost
always bloomed for Memorial
Day, along with old-fashioned
“blue flags,” or iris. They pro
vided bouquets in the traditional
patriotic colors for graves of loved
ones. “Decoration Day,” my
mother called it, a term rarely
heard any longer for this poignant
holiday. And small American
flags marked the resting places of
those who had made the ultimate
sacrifice.
For freedom.
Memorial Day is no longer so
widely remembered for its noble
intention to honor those who
carved outthe freedoms we far too
often take for granted. To be sure,
there are still services in ceme
teries, and parades in small home
town communities, where local
veterans march and remember.
Too frequently, few more than
those actively participating in
such memorial tributes gather to
remember.
What do today’s youngsters
know of Memorial Day? Picnics
and beach visits, a three-day
weekend from work and school,
ball tournaments, swimming pool
openings, holiday flea markets
and special sales at shopping
areas.
Even now, while we routinely
take for granted the rights to
assemble, to free speech, to vote
