Remember all those who died in war, in your daily prayers.
Memorial Day originated in 1868; Union General John A. Logan designated a day in which the graves of Civil War soldiers would be decorated. Known as Decoration Day, the holiday was changed to Memorial Day within twenty years, becoming a holiday dedicated to the memory of all war dead.
It became a federal holiday in 1971, and is now observed on the last Monday in May.

VATICAN CITY, MAY 26, 2004 (Zenit.org).- The last Volkswagen Beetle made in Mexico has been given to John Paul II.
The car, one of a limited series of 3,000, was given to the Pope today at the end of the general audience by Luis Manuel Abella Armella, president of the Mexican Volkswagen concession. He was accompanied by a delegation of workers of the Puebla plant, where the car was made.
John Paul II blessed the car and the delegation when he returned to the Apostolic Palace after the general audience, Vatican sources said.
The gift was in gratitude for the Holy Father's visit to Mexico in 2002, when he canonized Juan Diego, the Volkswagen employees explained.
The light blue Beetle, which will have a Vatican City license plate (its initials are SCV), is the last in this series of cars whose origins date back to the 1930s. Some 21 million "bugs" have been produced over the years.
Their production stopped in Europe in 1978, but continued in Mexico until last July 30.

As you know, when we read the news, it is the same thing everyday. I have had, not exactly the best of weeks, news that a tumour I had removed in 1994 has returned. I was not in the frame of mind to find any news.
By vocation, I am a registered nurse with a background in paediatrics and critical care. When I read the article on incest, the first thing that started flowing into my brain was information on Domestic Violence and Child abuse. One of the links is rather complicated, but it basically says that the experiences a child goes through, in the maturation years, forms his or her behavior.
