A Memorial Day Address, 1884


Commissioned an officer in 1861 at just 20 years of age, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., saw action in several Civil War battles including Fredericksburg and Antietam, suffering serious wounds three times. In 1884, Holmes delivered a Memorial Day address in Keane, New Hampshire, posing the question of “why people still kept up Memorial Day.” In part, he said:

“ We can hardly share the emotions that make this day to us the most sacred day of the year, and embody them with ceremonial pomp, without in some degree imparting them to those who come after us. I believe from the bottom of my heart that our memorial halls and statues and tablets, the tattered flags of our regiments gathered in the Statehouses, and this day with its funeral march and decorated graves, are worth more to our young men by way of chastening and inspiration than the monuments of another hundred years of peaceful life could be.”
