Life, Truth and Death

Every one of the experiences in our lives is a narrative. I learned that early on as a student intern for the Washington Post. I'm told I have a good sense of humor and I like having fun and telling the truth, while I attempt to find truths as best as possible because everything in life is based on fact finding. If you don't have the correct information, you may not report it. Once you are able to verify it, you can then move on it.

MEMORIAL DAY HISTORY

Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, when towns honored Civil War dead by decorating their graves. The practice was widespread throughout the North in the late 1860s; over two-dozen towns alleged to be the holiday’s birthplace. But southern women’s groups decorated graves possibly before the end of the Civil War.
