Memorial Day 2023
Memorial Day is a U.S. national holiday that honors our country's military who died in service. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was started in 1868 to remember the soldiers who died in the Civil War, and eventually became an official federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May -- This year Memorial Day is on May 29, 2023. Activities might include visiting the graves of veterans and soldiers to leave flowers or flags. Or, participate in our National Moment of Remembrance by observing a moment of silence at 3:00 pm on Memorial Day.
