Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day in which we remember those who have died in the service of the United States of America. It is celebrated on the 25th of May. It was originated during the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Some ways we can show honor and respect on Memorial Day is by saying thank you to all the people in the armed forces and being thankful to them and their families. Most people celebrate this holiday by going to parades, going to the people’s grave who risked their lives for us, and by having barbecues with the family. Something my family and I do on Memorial Day is give thanks to families who have a loved one at war and give our condolences for those who lost a love one because of war.
