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, Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer season.

Without memory, there's no history. Without history, there'd be no culture, no civilization.
Memorial Day cards may be a thing of the past, but remembrance and gratitude — remembering what people have done for you — remembering those who serve others, that needs to always be — keeping alive the memory of many, and honor of all.
So thanks buddy! *tackle glomp*

I take the time to thank first responders and military for their service. They deserve our thanks.
