Or Decoration Day, as it once was called. A day to honor and decorate the graves of the fallen. It dates back to our own Civil War. One involved a tribute by African Americans in Charleston South Carolina to the fallen Union troops, but other cities and areas independently honored the dead from that war as well. Memorial Day now honors all of our military men and women who have died for our nation.
We honor all who have served.
