Juniata County Veterans Remembrance Wall
Logans Orders
In 1868, retired Union General John Logan organized the first national Decoration Day. Serving as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union Veterans, Logan ordered local posts to honor the fallen on May 30, 1868 by "strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades, who died in defense of their country." One month later, Congress established a national Memorial Day, although Americans did not celebrate it in solidarity until after the First World War.
The holiday has evolved, but it remains true to its roots. "It is the purpose of the commander-in-chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year," Logan wrote in his order for Decoration Day. These days, the president executes the national observance and gives the Memorial Day Address at Arlington National Cemetery.
In 1950, Congress recognized Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace. In 2000, the president issued a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time each Memorial Day. Since Logan, the President has guided our national observance with moments of silence, prayer, and the playing of Taps.
Originally, Logan wrote his orders for veterans. He urged them to remember the fallen, as long as "a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades." A few years ago President Bush acknowledged, "I know that those who have seen war are rarely eager to look back on it and the hardest memories of all concern those who serve their country and never live to be called veterans. Yet memory is our responsibility." Although generations separate us from Logan's words, many veterans of foreign wars still live among us. Sharing the stories of the lost lives is a tangible way to honor their memory.
Below is a list of Juniata County comrades who have departed.
