Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the countries armed forces. 

Memorial Day is on the last Monday in May.

A few ways to show honor on Memorial Day is to say thank you to a veteran or current member of the armed forces. You could also visit a Va's national cemeteries. You could also place flags or flowers on a veteran's grave. 




Some interesting facts that I learned about Memorial Day is that it was not always celebrated on the last Monday of May, it used to be celebrated every 30th of May. 
It is legally required to observe a National Moment of Remembrance.
More than 36 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home this Memorial Day.

On memorial day me and my family go to my brother's home who is currently in the army and stay their with him until it gets late.
