Originally a day of remembrance for those who died for the Union in the Civil War, this national holiday, observed on the last Monday in May, now honors those who gave their lives in all wars. Many American families observe Memorial Day as a time for paying respects to deceased family members.
One way to show your appreciation is to attend a local Memorial Day parade or visit a nearby cemetery to place flowers on the graves of those who served. Another way is to participate in the National Moment of Remembrance, a minute of silence held at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day.
