Memorial Day is a US holiday observed annually on the last
Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American
Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. By the 20th
century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in
all wars. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while
serving in the United States Armed Forces.
On this Memorial Day, as with everyday, please make time to thank a US Military Veteran for the sacrifices they've made for us.
