Today is a day set aside to honor and remember all of the men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States military. We will never forget the sacrifices made.
The original national celebration of Memorial Day, previously known as Decoration Day took place on May 30, 1868. There were over twenty four cities and towns across the United States that claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, but Waterloo (New York) was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966.
As a reminder, all Baldwin County Commission offices will be closed today Monday, May 29, 2023 in observance of Memorial Day. Business will resume as normal tomorrow Tuesday, May 30, 2023.
