GALTx eNews: A Moment Of Reflection For Memorial Day

Time continues to fly by and here we are at Memorial Day again. Many of us are celebrating our first “normal” Memorial Day in a few years and we hope everyone enjoys shopping at sales, beach lounging, and BBQ festivities!

While enjoying the long weekend, take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. It’s a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s wars and began in the days of the American Civil War. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday became known as Memorial Day and began recognizing those who died in all United States wars after World War I. We have observed Memorial Day on the last Monday of May since 1971. We wish all who have lost a loved one in a war, peace and comfort this weekend and always.

If you would like to take a moment to honor a loved one who has passed, whether hound or human, please consider donating a memorial brick for GALT’s Memorial Garden located at our kennel near Dallas. If you follow us on social media, you will have seen many photos of our beautiful memorial garden in our adoption announcements.
