Happy Memorial Day Weekend from MageeNews.com.

Memorial Day Weekend is known for traffic accidents death. Please be careful if traveling. Make sure to buckle up for your safety. Remember law enforcement will be out so click it or ticket.

Memorial Day Weekend we focus on solders that  have fought for our freedom and lost their lives. According to Wikipedia “Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.  By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season.”
