Memorial Day

Memorial Day


Memorial Day is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the last Monday of the month of May. The holiday is a day to commemorate the courageous men and women who died while serving the country and our people in the military. Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in the year 1997. In remembrance of the lives lost, we celebrate by visiting memorials or participating in family gatherings as well as by participating in parades. Normally, people will organize barbecues, as Memorial Day, unofficially marks the beginning of summer for many people. During Memorial Day, in order to show respect, I will be attending a family gathering.
