USA - Memorial Day - Monday, May 26, 2025 - Honoring fallen soldiers

[Northern Star Girl]

One of the most profound and serious holidays in the USA is the upcoming Memorial Day...
               

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed annually on the
last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while
serving in the U.S. military.

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and
became an official federal holiday in 1971.

Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials and decorating fallen
military members graves with American Flags.
               

Americans also observe Memorial Day by holding family gatherings and participating in parades.

I am forever thankful to those fallen military members who died all around the world
while defending our country and our freedoms.

THANK YOU to those that are are aware of what Memorial Day really means.
