When 102-year-old World War II veteran Wally King asks you to have a beer at the Stop Bar in Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy, you have a beer (or two) with Wally King at the Stop Bar in Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy. What an honor!  Wally flew 75 combat missions in the Second World War in P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts.  He was shot down in April of 1945, parachuting out of his P-47 over Germany and becoming a POW before then evading both German and Soviet forces on his way to freedom.  Legend! 
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to Normandy with Wally three times for D-Day commemoration events with the Best Defense Foundation over the past few years.  We always have a blast!  🇺🇸

Why am I just seeing this now? This might be the greatest MLB X account interaction. A lot of screenshots but definitely worth your time. Follow along in the thread below because this might be the best thing you’ll see on here all week.

I wonder if these two are married or still together.

Most Americans have no idea where Memorial Day actually came from.

It was not invented by Congress. It was not handed down by a president. It was built from the ground up by ordinary citizens standing over the graves of men who gave everything for this country.

The Civil War ended in April 1865. It cost roughly 750,000 American lives, more than every other war this nation has fought combined. Every town had empty chairs at the dinner table. Every county had fresh graves. The wounds were everywhere.

And out of that grief, something uniquely American happened. Without any federal order, communities across the country, North and South, began visiting cemeteries in the spring of 1866 to lay flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. Waterloo, New York. Columbus, Mississippi. Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. Carbondale, Illinois. Charleston, South Carolina. Dozens of towns later claimed to be the birthplace of the tradition, because the tradition rose up in dozens of places at once.

That is the point. Nobody told Americans to honor their dead. They just did it.

On May 5, 1868, a Union general named John A. Logan, then commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, recognized what the country was already doing and made it official. He issued General Order No. 11, designating May 30th as a day "for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion."

He chose May 30th for a simple reason. It was not the anniversary of any battle. He wanted a day that belonged to all the fallen, not to any single victory or defeat.

They called it Decoration Day.

The first national observance was held at Arlington National Cemetery, on land that had been seized from Robert E. Lee's family and turned into the resting place of Union dead. 5,000 people showed up. James Garfield, a future president, gave the speech. Children from a nearby orphanage for the children of dead soldiers walked through the rows of graves placing flowers on every single headstone, Union and Confederate alike.

That last detail matters. From the very beginning, Americans understood that the dead belonged to the country, not to a side.

After World War I, the holiday expanded to honor the fallen of every American war. In 1971, it officially became Memorial Day and was moved to the last Monday in May.

But the core never changed. It is one of the only holidays in the world founded not by decree but by grief. A nation of citizens who chose, on their own, to remember.

This Memorial Day, remember what it actually is. Not a long weekend. Not a sale at the mall. A promise. That the men and women who died for this country will never be forgotten by the country they died for.

Pass it on.

Behind every freedom we enjoy is the sacrifice of someone who gave everything for this country.

As you spend time with loved ones this weekend, remember the men and women who laid down their lives so we can live in peace and freedom.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
