Memorial Day
Monday May 25
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.
Memorial Day started as an event to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War.
Memorial Day is on the last Monday of May
On this day is traditional to fly the flag of the United States at half mast from dawn until noon. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries Memorial Day has become less of an occasion of remembrance. Many people choose to hold picnics, sports events and family gatherings on this weekend. This day is traditionally seen as the start of the summer season for cultural events.
On Memorial Day i will probably be spending time with my family on a BBQ afternoon.
