On This Memorial Day

May 30, 2005

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. As a holiday, it commemorates those members of the armed forces killed in war. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed and observed in May, 1868, three years after the American Civil War ended, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, DC. We honor the men and women lost in all wars on this holiday, officially observed on the last Monday in May.

EFT practitioner, Gwenn Bonnell, offers some excellent tips on how to use EFT to take the terror out of taking tests.
