Actually - "The tradition of 'Majblomman': ...Hundreds of thousands of children are selling May flower pins every year in Sweden to collect money for charity... The Swedish Majblomma (the May Flower) turned 100 years old in 2007. 'Majblomman' is a little pin sold by children age 9-12 to collect money for charity, specifically aimed at sick and handicapped children. Founder of the enterprise was Beda Hallberg (1869-1945), a socially conscious woman who worked as a volunteer among the poor in Göteborg. In those days, prior to Sweden’s welfare system, nobody paid much attention to the sick and poor. Whatever help existed was insufficient and often given out at random. The main concern at the time was tuberculosis... The colour of the first Majblomma was a deep blue, but every year the colour changes. You can buy a single pin or a wreath.
H.R.H. Queen Silvia of Sweden, as tradition has it, buys the year's first Majblomma on April 17."

"On this date in history..." in the Year of Our Lord 2015, indeed; at least in the United States of America if not also in the UK.

Sad to see that you're still suffering from this self induced affliction of Pavlovian Denial.

"Pavlovian Denial" is not in any of my psychology books. Enlighten us.

And check out your history books.

Footnote to History: The divine establishment principle of freedom through military victory is as applicable today as it was during World War II. Please join me in giving thanks for God’s continued protection of the United States of America and the constitutional liberties we still enjoy.

US Marine Corps War Memorial: “Based on an iconic image of the second flag-raising on the island of Iwo Jima during World War II, the US Marine Corps War Memorial is dedicated to "the Marine dead of all wars and their comrades of other services who fell fighting beside them…" http://www.nps.gov/gwmp/planyourvisit/usmc_memorial.htm

“History of the Marine Corps War Memorial: “In honor and in memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who have given their lives to their country since November 10, 1775…" http://www.nps.gov/gwmp/learn/historyculture/usmcwarmemorial.htm

Here's a final tribute to Memorial Day 2015, previously sent to family members and a few other close family friends. Its audio narration with video illustrations has captivated the interest of 2,300,122 patriotic citizens since it was published on July 6, 2013. Enjoy. Boston Lad
