The History of How Memorial Day Began

-
The Team at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC would like to take a moment to acknowledge and remember all the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  The sacrifice of these men, women and their families can never be repaid, only honored and thanked by those who benefit from it.   

This holiday originated when women in the southern regions organized to decorate the graves of fallen Union soldiers after the American Civil War.  The tradition was picked up by other regions who also designated dates to pay tribute to their fallen troops.  The holiday was officially recognized by the United States on June 28, 1968 and expanded to honor all Americans that had lost their lives in any war or were missing in action.  The Uniform Holidays Bill was passed which officially recognized the holiday on the last Monday of May, creating a three day weekend.

We hope everyone enjoys this extended weekend and takes a moment to honor and reflect the sacrifices of our United States Armed Forces.

Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar...
