signated to honor the dead of the
Civil War, and seeing as how the
South felt a little more than
strongly about the state of af-
fairs, they refused to recognize
one of our biggest national holi-
days. And so it was with great

celebrated as the first holiday of
the summer season, although
most people do make an effort
to decorate the graves of their
loved ones with beautiful Key
West flowers.

go shopping!
