Originally called Deco- ration Day, Memorial Day was initially observed May 30, 1868 — three years after the end of the Civil War. According to the Ore- gon Department of Veter- ans’ Affairs, the day was set aside to place ﬂ owers on the graves of Union and Con- federate soldiers at Arling- ton National Cemetery. Ofﬁ - cially declared as a federal holiday in 1971, Memo- rial Day is observed the last Monday of May. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4750 and Ameri- can Legion Post 37 are host- ing Memorial Day — Mon- day, May 27 — services at the Hermiston Cemetery and Desert Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Irrigon. Leading up to the event in Hermiston, people are requested to assist in erect- ing the Avenue of Flags. Ron Jardine, VFW Post 4750 commander, said vol- HH ﬁ le photo HH ﬁ le photo Family, friends and community members gather during the 2018 Memorial Day service to honor local veterans who died in the past year and to recognize the sacriﬁ ce of those who died while in service to our country.
