Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May and is a time for visiting cemeteries and memorials to mourn the military personnel who died in the line of duty. The holiday has its roots in the American Civil War and has evolved over time to become a day of remembrance for all members of the U.S. military who have died in service.
