Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a special holiday celebrated on the last Monday of May in America because that is the day they honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S military. This holiday was originally called Decoration Day and it was made after the following years of the Civil War and then became an official holiday in 1971.

Many Americans celebrate this day by going to the cemetery where the ones who were in the military or army or civil war are and honor them for fighting for their country. I might do that on Memorial Day and thank them.
