Memorial Day is a National American Holiday. Observed on the last Monday in May.
It didn't officially become a National Holiday until 1971.
The Holiday was created to honor our military troops fallen in battle.
The Holiday first took shape in the years following the Civil War and was originally only intended to honor those men and women fallen in the war. However, since then it has evolved to honor every American fallen while serving in the U.S. military.
American's celebrate this Holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. Often bringing flowers and decorationes to grave sites. Barbecue's and fun in the water are often hallmarks of this day.
A Brief History:
When the civil war ended in 1865, more American live's had been lost than in any other military conflict in U.S. history. A fact that still rings true to this day.
In fact, if you add up all the lives lost in every other American conflict, they barely surpass the number of lives lost in the Civil War.
Waterloo, New York was credited with being the official birthplace of Memorial Day because of a local community wide event that took place there every year on May 5th. Businesses would close on that day and people would pay their respects to the fallen soldiers. The first such gathering took place in 1866.
By the late 1860's countless families and friends had been gathering in the spring time to pay tribute to these fallen soldiers.
Then in 1868, General John A. Logan called for a nationwide day of remembrance on May 30th. A day that was designated for the purpose of decorating grave sites of those that died for our country.
This day would be called "Decoration Day."
On the first Decoration Day, James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery. Over 5,000 people showed up to hear him speak and help decorate the more than 20,000 grave sites residing there.
Originally Decoration Day was only to honor those fallen in the Civil War, but as military conflicts and causalities grew, Decoration Day started to include all those fallen in battle.
Over the years, the term "Decoration Day" slowly evolved into "Memorial Day".
For years and years it continued to be observed on May 30th. Until Congress passed the Uniform Monday Act in 1968. The act established the last Monday in May as the official date of Memorial Day in order to create a 3-day weekend for Federal employees.
The act officially went into effect in 1971, which was the date of our first official Monday Memorial Day.
Did you know?
Memorial Day was first only meant as a day for honoring those fallen in the Civil War.
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day.
Memorial Day was on May 30th for decades before being changed in 1971 to the last Monday in May.
Every Memorial Day at 3 pm (local time), there is a national moment of silence.
Every Memorial Day, flags are placed at all the grave sites in Arlington National Cemetery.
Memorial Day is the unofficial start of Summer.
Have a safe and fun Memorial Day out there. In all the fun, make sure you don't forget to remember what the day is really about!
Stay informed my friends!

Important stuff. In my country (the netherlands) we have our independence day, 5th of may, where everyone is quiet for two full minutes to remember all those who sacrificed everything to free us.
That's great. It is important that we remember the ones that gave their lives so that we could enjoy our freedom.
oh they have the same here in The Nederlands
they call it Herdenking's Dag .. translated as memorial day - literally
but it's every 4th of May
and they observe silence too
then 5th of May is Independence Day ...
reminds me of Band of Brothers ...
Mexico and USA celebrate Cinco de Mayo battle of Puebla. A lot of cervezas to party!!!

In New Zealand we have 25 april as our ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Army Corp) day. It commemorates the landing at Gallipoli on 25 april 1915.
All the fallen are recognised with each area, from village to city, holding dawn parades to remember and honour the servicemen.
We also, to a lesser extent remamber 8 may 1945 V E day, and 15 aug V J day. The air force also remembers 15 sept battle of britian day .
All solomn days

With due respect, you sound like a broken record, and just as unwanted.
Spend some time in your library, on line, although that tends to be slanted, and learn the truth about why most men go to war. Why wars started, what the end aim of wars were, what would have been the result if the victory had gone the other way, Try for books written as close to the occurance as you can get, there tends to be less political sway in them.
No doubt in the US there was enforced enlistment, they had no choice, they went to war.
Thanks to the men who gave theit all you can use english to communicate, you can enjoy your current status of living, you have the right to repeat your ststement continuasly.,
History has a habit of repeating its self. If you are under 40, I suggest you start getting fit. You will be needed in the front lineto absorb the bullets while the soldier protect your country.
@len.george, lets be friends.
A true brother of man will go to jail before he kills a innocent brother in another land?
War is EVIL! To participate in it is evil.
Please stop being a follower of custom and become a leader for mankind and just say NO to WAR.
maybe you missed my post on Human Rights

Brilliant post, insightful and informational. I think that it is important not only to remember the heroes who have died fighting for us but also to give tribute to them. Sadly, today people are much more busy with their own lives...
Yep very true. Sometimes we all need a little reminding :)

Nice! That's the same picture I used yesterday for my Memorial Day tribute. Well done!
It's a great picture... It really stuck out as I am searching for one to use.
I thought the same thing. I wanted to do Memorial Day in pictures and I used it for my lead in.
I just checked... I made about $2.68 on my version!
Yea it looks like you got a late vote ;)

This is a great and informative article. Thanks for sharing. What I find the most disheartening about the Civil War is that Americans fought Americans, which explains the large loss of American life, just the idea that this could happen again at any time.
Most notably, there was much talk of the Southern States ceceding when former President Obama was elected and again on the beginning of his second term. It is sad to me that, simply because we elected a half-black man, the South wanted to "rise again" as the slogan goes.
An interesting point I would like to add is that, due to Texas having its own power grid, they might actually be able as a state to successfully cecede with less problems than, say, Georgia or Arkansas as the other two power grids in America are divided into East and West.

Hmm. I would argue that memorial day isn't disgusting. Honoring fallen soldiers is a nice thing to do.
If your a war monger yeah.
But as human beings DISGUSTING!
Supporting the troops isn't the same as supporting war. I don't condone war, but I support the soldiers who make the sacrifices, be they necessary or unnecessary.
I respectfully disagree.
Soldiers choose to be soldiers...
Then they follow orders regardless of ethic's and kill women and children
Soldiers should be spat on like after Vietam
Baby killers
I disrespectfully disagree with your loony worldview. Not everyone gets to choose whether to be a soldier. Not everyone does it knowing they will have to kill. I hope that one day you can see beyond your nose. You should be spat on. Good day to you.
Great history!! nice post !!

Why hasn't anyone realized that the best way to honor the fallen is to stop pursuing foreign policies that create more fallen? I understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day but the way our veterans are treated after they come home is shameful. Many of our current veterans are "walking" fallen.
