What is the meaning of Memorial Day?
For many Americans, Memorial Day Weekend signifies the start of summer and is the perfect excuse to light up the barbecue with friends and family. While this is a wonderful reason to celebrate and come together, it’s also important to remember the true significance of Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is an important federal holiday observed in the United States on the last Monday of May every year. This day is dedicated to honoring the brave people who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday was established on May 30, 1868, after the Civil War, and commemorated all the soldiers who had died in battle.
Over time, the meaning of Memorial Day evolved to honor all Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. The holiday is a day for reflection and gratitude, marked by parades, ceremonies, and visits to cemeteries and memorials.
