Fairfield Connecticut Memorial Day Limo Coach Service Limousine Limos
Memorial Day

Relatives and others traditionally place flags near veterans' headstones on Memorial Day. A United States federal holiday, Memorial Day takes place on May 30th and is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as 'Decoration Day'. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. Today, some Americans apparently use Memorial Day weekend to also honor family members who have passed away. Church services on the Sunday prior to Memorial Day may include a reading of the names of members who have died during the previous 12 months.

Many people observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A National Moment of Remembrance takes place at 3 PM. Another tradition is to fly the U.S. Flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, family gatherings, and sporting events. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjuction with Memorial Day since 1911.

Memorial Day traditionally occurs on May 30, and some, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), advocate returning to this fixed date. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address, "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day." Hawaii's Senator Inoye has repeatedly introduced measures to return Memorial Day to its traditional day since 1999. However, at least some Americans enjoy the guaranteed three-day weekend that comes with observing the holiday on a Monday. Americans popularly view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer, while they view Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

Greenfield Hill is a neighborhood of Fairfield, Connecticut. Located in the northern part of the town, it extends from just south of the Merritt Parkway to the town's boundary with Easton, to the north.

Along with Southport, Greenfield Hill is one of two extremely wealthy neighborhoods in Fairfield. It is largely on account of Southport and Greenfield Hill that Fairfield is considered part of Connecticut's Gold Coast. Thanks in large part to the efforts of the Greenfield Hill Village Improvement Society, zoning is residential and lots are two acres or larger.

Just an hour north of New York City, Greenfield Hill’s shady lanes and meandering stone walls create an illusion of rural solitude. This agrarian community, which was established in 1725, has dwindled to a single working farm, as well as a horse stable that offers riding lessons. The remaining barns and pastures now function as artful additions to the landscape. Even the 19th century windmill that once pumped water for the area’s Jersey Cattle, has a more modern purpose – housing cellular phone antennas.

Locally, Greenfield Hill is known for its Dogwood Festival, which celebrates a variety of tree that abounds in the neighborhood. The dogwood has been a Greenfield Hill trademark since Dr. Isaac Bronson, an assistant surgeon in the Revolutionary War, decided to showcase them along the edges of his Bronson Road estate. In the early 1900’s the Greenfield Hill Village Improvement Society began importing and planting approximately 100 dogwoods a year. By the 1930’s, word had spread that the blooming of these trees was a sight worth traveling for and the famed Greenfield Hill Dogwood Festival was born.

The most famous and perhaps the most picturesque landmark is the Greenfield Hill Congregational Church, which presides over a classic New England green. Timothy Dwight IV, best known as a president of Yale University (and the namesake of one of its residential colleges) was pastor of Greenfield Hill Congregational Church for many years. According to local lore, he was hired by Yale to thwart plans for a rival educational institution in Fairfield.
