Up for bid is a wonderful vintage patriotic postcard.  This card celebrates "Decoration Day", as the title of the card is "The Star Spangled Banner". It shows Old Glory waving in the breeze while surrounded by a floral wreath.  When you supersize image 1 you will see the wonderful details on this card.  The colors are very vivid and the artistry is just great!

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.  Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
