MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day 

1. Memorial Day or Decoration Day is a federal holiday in the United States for      

    remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

2. Memorial Day is on the last Monday of May every year. 

3. To show respect you can volunteer at a Veteran's hospital, visit a war memorial, and attend a National Memorial Day Parade.

5. The first Memorial day was celebrated in 1868. 

6. One way I will show honor and respect on Memorial Day is possibly watch a parade on TV. 

7. I believe Memorial Day is important because most of us forget about the meaning behind it. People are usually just happy that they don't go to work/school. They fail to realize that we should be more grateful for the people who died serving our country.
