Memorial Day Limoges Boxes

Memorial Day is celebrated on the last monday of May in the United States, and this year it is May 28.  This is a day to remember all those who fought and died to defend our country and uphold its honor and freedom.   Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War, and it was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead. After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women, who died in any war or military action.

If you are looking for Memorial Day keepsake that evokes the spirit of our country, take a look at our collection of United States inspired Limoges boxes.  These Limoges with hand painted American flags, White House Limoges box, Mt. Rushmore Limoges, and The Statue of Liberty Limoges, are all symbols of our country's greatness that has been preserved and defended by exceptional soldiers throughout the decades.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day and it is seen as the start of the summer season.  The American flag is widely displayed on this day, and is traditionally hung at half mast from dawn until noon.  This symbol of our country beckons the attention of all Americans to remember those that gave their life in the name of freedom, and to do so together.  The flags painted on and accompanying these Limoges boxes are bright, masterfully painted, and grab our attention as a wonderful daily reminder of our country's greatness as it relates to our soldiers.
