Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service.
Cindy Mathews May 26, 2011 at 9:39 am

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it honors U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. local time. Another tradition is to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at National Cemeteries.
