No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned.
The birthplace of the Memorial Day is believed to be Waterloo in New York. This place observed its first memorial day on may 5 1866, and has been doing it annually from there on. The town made Memorial Day an annual and community wide event when the business closed and the graves were decorated with flowers and flags. And in the year 1966 a presidential proclamation was signed to recognize Waterloo as the birthplace of the Memorial Day, by the federal government under the direction of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
