Prayer For Peace Day (Memorial Day 1982)

Huh.

Just looked it up and found out President Reagan proclaimed Memorial Day 1982 the "Prayer for Peace" day. Proclamation 4932.

My son's name means peace.

I never in my life knew this, about Memorial Day 1982.

I just started laughing out loud while reading the proclamation, saying,

"They flew a flag at half-staff on the day I broke my arm."
