Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday honoring military personnel who died in service, originally called Decoration Day, and is observed on the last Monday in May.
Origins and History

Memorial Day began after the American Civil War to honor fallen soldiers, with the first national observance on May 30, 1868, promoted by John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic

It was originally called Decoration Day because people decorated soldiers’ graves with flowers and flags

The name Memorial Day became more common after World War I and was officially recognized by federal law in 1967, with the holiday fixed to the last Monday in May in 1971

Traditions and Observances
Common traditions include placing flags, flowers, and wreaths on veterans’ graves, attending parades, and holding ceremonies at cemeteries and memorials

The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery is a central site for wreath-laying ceremonies

At 3:00 PM local time, a national moment of remembrance is observed to honor the fallen

Many Americans also see Memorial Day as the unofficial start of summer, marked by family gatherings and travel

Waterloo, New York, is officially recognized as the birthplace of Memorial Day

The holiday honors all U.S. military personnel who died in service, not just those from the Civil War

The first Decoration Day took place at Arlington National Cemetery

The red poppy is a common symbol of remembrance, inspired by World War I poetry

Some Southern states observe a separate day to honor Confederate soldiers

Approximately 45 million Americans travel during Memorial Day weekend, making it one of the busiest travel periods of the year

Memorial Day has influenced music, literature, and public ceremonies, with patriotic songs like the “Star-Spangled Banner” and “The Army Goes Rolling Along” often featured in observances

It also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made for peace and freedom, connecting Americans to their history and national identity

Memorial Day combines solemn remembrance with cultural traditions, making it both a day of honor for fallen soldiers and a symbolic start to summer in the United States.
