About the event
The origins of Memorial Day date back to the aftermath of the Civil War, when communities began to commemorate the fallen soldiers. It was originally known as Decoration Day, a day for people to decorate the graves of those who had died in the war.
Memorial Services: Many communities hold memorial services to honor the deceased.
Parades: Numerous cities host parades featuring veterans, military personnel, and various community groups.
Flags: The American flag is often displayed at half-staff until noon, then raised to full-staff.
Visiting Cemeteries: Families and friends visit cemeteries to pay their respects and place flowers or flags on graves.
Memorial Day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel and the importance of honoring their memory. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and recognition of the freedoms enjoyed in the United States.
