Remembrance on Memorial Day. Admittedly I am always surprised when people get military holidays mixed up. Nevertheless, I know everyone has not worn the uniform. In any case, we all can pause to remember the sacrifices so many made that gives us our freedom.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States that is observed on the last Monday of May. In short, this day is dedicated to honoring and remembering the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military.
Decoration Day
Established after the Civil War as “Decoration Day,” this commemorative day was born in remembrance of the Union soldiers who gave their lives. Over time, it became the Memorial day of our time. Notably a day to pay tribute to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
On Memorial Day, Americans across the country participate in parades, ceremonies, and visit cemeteries to honor our fallen soldiers. On this day flags fly at half-mast until noon. Subsequently flags are then raised to full mast as a symbol of the country’s resilience. Additionally, many families and friends gather to remember and celebrate the lives of their loved ones who gave their lives for their country.
Remembrance on Memorial Day
It is important to remember that Memorial Day is not just a day for grilling and picnics. It is a solemn day to remember the sacrifice of those who have served and died to protect the freedom and ideals of the United States. As we enjoy our freedoms and liberties, we should take a moment to reflect and recognize the bravery and sacrifice of these men and women who gave their all.
