Memorial Day
- Memorial Day is an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.
- It is on the last monday of May
- Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.
- To honor the deceased, soldiers would decorate graves of their fallen comrades with flowers, flags and wreaths. Hence Decoration Day. Although Memorial Day became its official title in the 1880s, the holiday wouldn’t legally become Memorial Day until 1967.
- I am going to go to a Memorial day parade in Downey to show my respect to those who have passed defending our country.
- For this Memorial day weekend i will go to a parade in Downey and this will my way to show respect . I believe that everyone in this county should do something to show respect ass well. This weekend is to show respect to those who have passed defending our country so we owe it to them. It is not everyday you show respect or say thank you so once a year shouldn't hurt. It doesn't have to be huge it can be as simple as putting up a U.S flag in your front yard. There is even places you can donate money to show your support and respect. Thank to all these men and women we are safe in our county so we should show respect and gratefulness for these people who have died protecting our country. Try your best and say thank you for those who have passed.
