Did you know that Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day? It began during the civil war when women decorated the graves of fallen soldiers. Since World War I it was officially recognized as a day of remembrance for all who have given their lives in our nation’s service. While many Americans have Memorial Day celebrations, it’s the sacrifices of our brave military men and women who have protected our freedoms and our national security that allow us all to celebrate together.
Keeping with the spirit of freedom, celebration, and decoration – we at Milton’s invite you to decorate our crackers with delicious and colorful toppings to entertain family and friends. A delicious and easy complement to your holiday weekend barbecues and picnics is our Honey Raspberry Delights recipe. This quick and simple recipe is an easy dessert or a nice refreshing sweet treat between savory party foods – print out the recipe here. Drop us a line after the long weekend and tell us how much your family and friends liked it!
One of the little known facts about Milton’s is that our products are served, baked, and sold in military commissaries here in the US and around the world. So as we reflect on our blessings, we offer special tribute to our military servicemen and women. This Memorial Day as we decorate, celebrate, and remember our loved ones - we at Milton’s would like to thank our military, both at home and abroad, for their service and for all that they do to protect our freedoms and keep our nation secure.
We’ll keep the ovens on – and look forward to your return.
