This holiday was established shortly after the Civil War to reflect on the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who perished during the conflict. Today, we tend to focus on those soldiers from WW II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. But shouldn’t we also remember those patriots who fought in the American Revolution?
