Memorial Day - A History of Reflection & Remembrance

Memorial Day in the United States is for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. This holiday is observed on the last Monday of May. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War in the American South 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.
