Remembering Memorial Day
Several years ago, Mike Esmond, Americanism chairman of American Legion Post 378 in Gulf Breeze, Fla., and his fellow Legionnaires began a letter-writing campaign to encourage Wal-Mart and other companies to stop selling fireworks on Memorial Day. On Nov. 19, 2009, Wal-Mart's senior manager of executive communications sent American Legion Post 378 a letter that caused applause from veterans nationwide. The letter stated that beginning in 2010, Wal-Mart stores in the United States will discontinue the sale of fireworks until after Memorial Day.
