Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the last Monday of May each year. Originy established to honor soldiers who died in the American Civil War, it has evolved to commemorate military personnel who have died in American wars. Its significance lies in remembering those who sacrificed their lives for the nation and expressing respect and grief for them.
Common commemorative practices include solemn ceremonies at cemeteries or memorials, laying wreaths, playing military music, firing gun salutes (on state ceremonial occasions), and a national moment of silence. Many families also visit gravesites or fly the flag on this day. It is also widely regarded as the unofficial start of summer, often accompanied by family gatherings, outdoor barbecues, and similar activities.
