In the United States, the last Monday in May is reserved to remember the people who served in the military but are no longer alive; hence, it is referred to as Memorial Day. The Civil War celebrated a miniature version of this day called 'Decoration Day' to remember the soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers. Eventually, in 1971, Memorial Day was recognized as a public holiday to honor our fallen soldiers who had fought for America's beliefs.
Celebrating Memorial Day
People often celebrate Memorial Day by laying wreaths at cemeteries and memorials nationwide. Also known as the National Moment of Remembrance, observed at 3:00 PM local time, all Americans are requested to pause for this minute to remember all those who have served. Some visit relatives' graves and place flags or flowers on them in tribute.
Meanwhile, veterans and active military personnel are also paraded in several events, thus bringing communities together in remembrance. These moments serve as powerful reminders of the day’s true meaning.
Honoring the Spirit of Memorial Day
Many people also refer to Memorial Day as the beginning of summer in most American cities. As such, brace yourself for more summer activities since the kids will be going all out for summer. It is also the period when many families and friends congregate for outdoor cookouts, picnics, and other fun-filled activities. In addition to all these activities, warming weather seasons and vacations also mean lots of sales, mostly on electronics or summer gear.
However, it’s still important to remember the true purpose of that day: to remember why it is celebrated and not to erase the names of people who served in such wars from memory. Whether participating in local events, visiting a memorial, or simply displaying the American flag, there are many ways to balance the celebration of summer’s arrival with the reflection that Memorial Day calls for.
