This weekend is the observance of Memorial Day which is our American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.
Originally it was known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.
Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend full of remembrance and love.
