Memorial Day: Honoring the Fallen
A Day of Remembrance and Gratitude
Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a solemn occasion to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Originally known as Decoration Day, the holiday was established in 1868 to commemorate those who died during the Civil War.
A Legacy of Service and Sacrifice
Today, Memorial Day encompasses all those who have given their lives in service to our nation, both during wartime and peacetime. Whether they fell in battle or dedicated their lives to defending our freedoms, these brave individuals have earned our eternal respect and gratitude.
On this day, we gather to remember their selfless acts, pay tribute to their families, and reaffirm our commitment to the ideals for which they fought.
