Memorial Day is observed in the United States on the last Monday of May each year. This day serves as a time to remember and honor the military personnel who have died in the line of duty while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The origins of Memorial Day can be traced back to the years following the American Civil War when various communities began holding ceremonies to honor those who had made the ultimate sacrifice during the conflict. Over time, these observances evolved and eventually led to the establishment of Memorial Day as a federal holiday in 1971. Today, people across the country commemorate Memorial Day by participating in parades, visiting cemeteries, and holding events to pay tribute to the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to their country.
