The Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday of May each year.

It is a day of remembrance and tribute to honor and commemorate the men and women of the U.S. military who have died in military service to their country.

What is the memorial day

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials to pay their respects to the fallen, and it also marks the unofficial start of the summer season in the United States.

Parades, patriotic events, and family gatherings are common on Memorial Day, but the primary focus is to remember and honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their nation.
