VFK Memorial Day Mini-Quest!

7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Monday, May 31st, 2010 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Tuesday, June 1st, 2010.

Today is Memorial Day, a day of remembrance for those who have fallen in service to our nation. This National holiday began on May 5th, 1868. Army General John Logan is attributed with originating this holiday soon after the American War Between the States. General Logan initially set it to be held on May 30th each year. We didn't begin recognizing Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, until 1971. On today's quest, let's take a look at the holiday on which we honor our soldiers that have fought and died for our country's safety and freedom!

Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Memorial Day 2010 Pin!
