Vintage Decoration Day (Memorial Day) Post CardCirca early 20th century
Divided back, golden age (1907 - 1915)
E. Nash publishers
A portrait of Columbia, the anthropomorphic personification of the U.S.A., holding the flag of the United States. A round emblem surrounded by a golden laurel and an eagle feather bears the legend IN MEMORIAM - DECORATION DAY
Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2019 occurs on Monday, 27th May.
Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.
Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
