Memorial Day History

Memorial Day seeks to honor and remember those who died while serving in the military. This day aims to raise awareness about the nation’s freedom and the price for that freedom. Every year, U.S soldiers and their families pay that price.

Memorial Day is a day for reverence and honoring of those who gave their lives defending the Nation and its values. Congress declared it a national holiday in 1971. It is observed annually on the last Monday of May.
