Happy Memorial Day!
Filed Under Holiday Greetings, Memorial Day, holidays, military
It is that time of year. Memorial Day starts off the Summer season. Most swimming pools are open now. The start of picnics and barbecues too!
But what is Memorial Day?
Memorial Day always falls on the last Monday of the month of May.
At 3 p.m. EST on Memorial Day a moment of silence is taken place to reflect on this holiday.
It is a holiday observed in the United States of America.
Yes, other countries have their own Memorial Day as well.
Memorial Day is a day to honor those men and women who have served in the military for our country.
If it wasn’t for these men and women, we wouldn’t have the freedom we have today.
Memorial Day was first used to honor the Union Soldiers back in the Civil War times.
After World War I, it honored those who lost their lives for our country.
On this day you might see a lot of tiny United States of America flags on grave spots through out cemeteries.
This is one way we as Americans honor these fallen soldiers.
The United States of America flag is to be flown at half staff today.
We also have parades on Memorial Day as part of the reflection of this holiday.
One thing you might not know is that Memorial Day use to be on May 30 of each year.
It was later changed to the last Monday of the month.
So do you have any memories of Memorial Day? Anything you remember of it?
Anything you wish to share about Memorial Day to you? Please feel free to give
me a comment and let me know. Thanks for reading my blog.
