Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day, and it honors all men and women who have died while serving in the United States military. On Memorial Day, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and it is traditionally regarded as the start of the summer season.
For many years, Memorial Day was observed separately in the Union States of the North and the Confederate States of the South to honor those who fought and died in the Civil War. The day was observed on May 10 or June 3 in the southern states. However, the massive casualties of World War II caused a change of heart, and everyone agreed on a single Memorial Day for all. The day is now observed on May 30, which does not coincide with any particular war. But the event has evolved into public ceremonies filled with speeches and colorful parades.
People usually spend this day, which marks the start of summer, having picnics and attending events. However, this year's Memorial Day brings true spirits of remembering the veterans on this day, as the actual idea behind this day is to remember and commemorate the day, recall all the sacrifices made by the veterans, and spend it in its true spirit rather than enjoying it at home as a typical holiday.
Discover all the interesting facts behind this patriotic day by reading this memorial day book or get it for your child. This book would also make an excellent memorial day gift for family and friends who want to learn more about our past heroes.
