It's Memorial Day, a day when the United States as a nation reflects on the military personnel who've lost their lives fighting for their country. What began a Decoration Day after the Civil War to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives in battle has since been expanded and renamed to address all Americans who have died during military service.
The Bismarck Optimist Club is introducing an exciting new program this Memorial Day called 'The Avenue of Flags', where American flags will fly proudly along one of the busiest stretches in Bismarck to serve as a visual tribute to our nation.
