The sobering sound of remembrance and patriotism echoed at Forest Lawn-Glendale on Monday, May 31, as the nation’s war dead were remembered.

The outdoor ceremony — in the presence of local dignitaries and a “Field of Honor” — 1,000 flags to honor the dead — rekindled such events throughout Southern California, which were impacted by the pandemic last year.

That tradition nationally is said to stem from the aftermath of the Civil War, when in May 1868, Gen. John Logan, the national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, proclaimed it in his General Order No. 11, where he sought a day to remember the fallen with flowers strewn on graves. It was originally called Decoration Day, according to MemorialDay.org.

A tradition began to grow, with more formal recognitions in several states. By the aftermath of World War I, the day became not just about honoring the Civil War dead, but Americans who died in any war.

Congress sealed it in the National Holiday Act of 1971, establishing the day on the last Monday of each May.

The event was organized by the Glendale Sunrise Rotary Club, in conjunction with Forest Lawn.
