Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formally known as Decoration Day and commemorates all men and women, who have died in military service for the United States.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day and it is traditionally seen as the start of the summer season.
I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life.
Hope all those who celebrate have a safe and great Memorial Day Weekend!
