What Is Memorial Day?

Observed the last Monday in May, Memorial Day honors those who lost their lives while in service to the United States during peace and war.

Whom Do We Remember on Memorial Day?

Memorial Day originally honored the Civil War dead, and now honors all service members and veterans who died while in service to the United States during peace and war.
