Memorial Day

Memorial Day

 Memorial Day is an American holiday that happens on the last Monday of May, in which we honor the men and woman who died while serving in the U.S. military. It was originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.Some ways of celebrating this holiday is by making a cookout with your family and praying to god and thanking all the men and woman who died while protecting the U.S.

Some ways that I will celebrate this holiday is by watching the parades on the television and when it is dinner time I will say a quick amen to the men and woman who are protecting are great nation.
