The Legacy of Memorial Day
Memorial Day, observed annually on the last Monday of May, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers throughout American history. Originating from the Civil War era, this day was initially known as Decoration Day, a time to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers. Over the years, Memorial Day has evolved to recognize the valor of all military personnel who have died in service to the United States. From its humble beginnings in towns like Waterloo, New York, to becoming a national holiday, Memorial Day serves as a solemn occasion to reflect on the cost of freedom and the enduring spirit of those who have served.
