Memorial Day

 

Memorial Day is a day honoring men and women who died while serving the U.S. military. Memorial Day is a holiday that is held on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is originally called Decoration Day. This is because of the early tradition when they used to decorate graves with flowers, and flags in remembrance of the people who have fallen. Many people show honor and respect by visiting cemeteries or memorials, or even attending parades around the community. Some things I may do to show honor and respect on Memorial Day is attend parades happening around my community. Memorial Day is a day that shouldn’t be forgotten it is a day that should be treated with respect. Many soldiers died during the civil war and we need to acknowledge their work.
