EACH AND EVERY YEAR, Liberians observe March 8 as Decoration Day, a memorial or tribute to the many who have lost their lives over the years. WE HAVE ALL seen the scenes and heard the wailings when Decoration Day comes around as it did Wednesday. IT IS A DAY THAT offers Liberians an opportunity to commemorate heroes and heroines who gave their lives for the country’s prosperity. MAJOR GRAVES LIKE the Palm Grove Cemetery and the Paynesville Graveyards have become the embodiment of everything that is wrong with Liberia and its respect for the dead. They and all those who are no longer with us deserve a memorial befitting of their service to Liberia.
