Memorial Day is celebrated the last Monday of May to honor fallen military. The original name was Decoration Day, and it's the day the United States of America honors the deceased men and women in military.
Memorial Day was first to honor those who were from the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. Later on, Memorial Day was expanded to honor all people who died in the military.
In 1882, Decoration Day changed into Memorial Day. After World War II, people began to observe Memorial Day and the official name was made in 1967.
We honor our men and women in the military and remember the fallen. Thank you to each for allowing us our freedoms! We ARE the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave!
