Memorial Day

     

Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered. The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, will be held on May 28, 2018. Some ways to honor and respect on Memorial Day are volunteer to lay flowers or plant flags at your local Veterans cemetery, sponsor a thank-you bouquet, flying a American Flag using proper mourning etiquette, attend a Memorial Day parade near you, etc. The observance, which begin in the years following the Civil War, was originally known as Decoration Day. I will watch a Memorial Day parade on T.V. 

Reflection: Memorial Day is a day we remember the people who died in the military service. They fight for our country to get freedom. Memorial Day is celebrated in late May because that's when flowers are likely to be blooming across the country. Memorial Day is known as Decoration Day. Memorial Day was a response to the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War.
