A Day Of Remembrance

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May. It’s a day of remembrance, reflection, and grief, rather than a holiday of celebration. The holiday’s origins trace back to the aftermath of the Civil War, when citizens began decorating graves with flowers and placing flags.

Thank you to all who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and our freedoms. We are forever in your debt.
