Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May to honor and remember the brave men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and remembrance.
Many people observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries and memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. It also marks the unofficial start of summer, with schools often closing for the holiday and communities hosting outdoor events and ceremonies.
At our school, Memorial Day is a day off to recognize the significance of this national observance and to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
