Memorial Day

1. Memorial Day is a day where those who died in active military service are remembered and honored for their courage and lives given to keep out country safe.

2. The purpose of Memorial Day is to never forget those who gave their life for our country and to ensure that they are honored forever.

3. Memorial Day is held on the last Monday in May although it used to be celebrated on May 30th.

4. A few ways to show honor and respect on Memorial Day is by going to visit the Flag Garden, USS constitution museum etc. and pay your respects or attending a Memorial Day service. Just acknowledging and being grateful for their service is the main point of Memorial Day

5. Traditionally, on Memorial Day, the american flag is lowered to half staff until noon to commemorate all of the lost soldiers and then is raised at full staff for the rest of the day.

6. I do not know what I will do on Memorial Day Except maybe attend a service but if I had the chance I would like to go to the Flag Garden.
