“Memorial Day”
What
is memorial day? A day of remembrance for those who
have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and
towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day.
What
is the purpose of memorial day? Memorial Day started as
an event to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War.
It was inspired by the way people in the Southern states honored their dead.
After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women, who died in
any war or military action.
When
is it? Memorial day is celebrated on May 25th of each year.
What
are a few ways to show honor and respect on Memorial D ay? You can honor and show respect by
doing parades, volunteering, and even highlight soldiers’ stories.
This memorial day I will show respect and honor by taking a moment
of silence during our celebration. I will also thank a family whom lost a loved
one.
