Scenic Walk along Big Stone State Park's Bonanza-Lake Traverse Shoreline
Taking a long scenic walk along the shoreline of Lake Traverse (headwaters of Minnesota River) at Big Stone State Park's Bonanza Grove on September 27th of 2008. Earlier I was listening to the Twins vs. White Sox (regular season) game, which we lost (losing the chance to clinch the central division title)!

Loved once surpriced by Soldiers Memorial day 2016
As we know memorial day 2016 is coming soon you can cehek more details in this website.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.[1] The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May,[2] originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois — established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.[3] By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.[1] It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.
Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountain areas. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with relatives and others. There often is a religious service and a picnic-like dinner on the ground, the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the memorial day idea.[4]
Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.[5]
Civil War Veterans in Ortonville, Minnesota, on the Fourth of July, 1880—also called Decoration Day prior to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act almost a century later.
History of the holiday
The practice of decorating soldiers' graves with flowers is an ancient custom.[6] Soldiers' graves were decorated in the U.S. before[7] and during the American Civil War. A claim was made in 1906 that the first Civil War soldier's grave ever decorated was in Warrenton, Virginia, on June 3, 1861, implying the first Memorial Day occurred there.[8] Though not for Union soldiers, there is authentic documentation that women in Savannah, Georgia, decorated Confederate soldiers' graves in 1862.[9] In 1863, the cemetery dedication at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was a ceremony of commemoration at the graves of dead soldiers. Local historians in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, claim that ladies there decorated soldiers' graves on July 4, 1864.[10] As a result, Boalsburg promotes itself as the birthplace of Memorial Day.[11]
Following President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in April 1865, there were a variety of events of commemoration. The sheer number of soldiers of both sides who died in the Civil War, more than 600,000, meant that burial and memorialization took on new cultural significance. Under the leadership of women during the war, an increasingly formal practice of decorating graves had taken shape. In 1865, the federal government began creating national military cemeteries for the Union war dead.[12]

Land Between Two Rivers** - Mississippi & Minnesota Rivers
After the last Ice Age, the Sioux, Ojibwa and Winnebago Indians made their homes in what would become Minnesota. Archeologists have unearthed human remains dating to 7700 BC at Browns Valley, to 7500 BC near Mille Lacs Lake and 6600 BC at Pelican Rapids. Metal tools and other artifacts dating to 5000 BC have been found on the shores of Lake Superior. Remnants of the more urbanized Hopewell Indian culture (200 BC - 400 AD) have been found at various points along the Mississippi.
The Kensington Runestone, found near Alexandria, indicates that Viking explorers reached Minnesota in the 1300's. Columbus was looking for a route to Asia when he discovered America in 1492, and Europeans continued to search for the “Northwest Passage” -- a waterway that would connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans - for the next 300 years. As part of that quest, early explorers first came to the land that would become Minnesota. During his travels in 1680, Father Louis Hennepin, a Frenchman, became the first white man to see the waterfalls that, two centuries later, would transform Minneapolis into the milling capitol of the world. Hennepin called them the Falls of St. Anthony in honor of his patron saint.
In 1766, a British explorer named Jonathan Carver journeyed up the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. He lived with the Sioux, kept notes of his observations, and created many maps. He published the stories of his adventures and they were popular in both the American colonies and in England.
In the northwestern part of Minnesota Territory, French-Canadian fur traders made their way south from Manitoba. These men took Indians as their brides and created a unique culture (known as Meti). These early inhabitants developed the ox carts that would eventually traverse the Red River Ox Cart trail, bringing goods and settlers from southern Minnesota to the northwestern part of the state.
When the Minnesota Territory was organized, its largest population center was at the confluence of the Heart, Knife and Missouri Rivers, where the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians had built their villages. In 1848, there were only a few hundred Americans living in St. Paul, a smaller number at St. Anthony (Minneapolis) and a few more spread along the St. Croix River centered at Stillwater. Although there were small settlements along the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers beyond Fort Snelling, agreements had not been reached with the Dakota Sioux and Ojibwa that would allow the lands to be safely opened for settlement. Small trading posts were scattered along the North Shore of Lake Superior. Fully a third of the territory's white population lived in and around the Pembina settlement on the Red River of the North.
