Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a solemn and significant occasion in the United States, observed on the last Monday of May. It is a day of remembrance and tribute to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, this holiday emerged after the Civil War to honor those who had died in the conflict. Over time, it has grown to encompass the memory of all fallen soldiers from various wars and conflicts. On Memorial Day, people gather to participate in ceremonies, lay wreaths, and visit cemeteries to pay their respects to the fallen heroes. It’s a poignant reminder of the costs of freedom and a time to express gratitude for the sacrifices made to ensure the nation’s security and liberty.
