“Memorial Day”
Monday May 25
Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the
last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S.
military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years
following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many
Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding
family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it
marks the beginning of summer.Finding a way to give back to our veterans and
troops is what it’s really all about.
