“Memorial Day”

Memorial Day is an American holiday celebrated on May 25 (Last Monday of May). On this day, we honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated back in the civil war and became an official holiday in 1971. Many celebrate the Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings or participating in paradise. I usually celebrate Memorial Day by having a family gathering and thanking the military for their protection and safety.
