What is the true meaning of Memorial Day? It is a somber day of remembrance for the men and women who have died for our country. As we enjoy a special barbeque, swimming and other outdoor activites, let's take time to reflect!
Did you know that the National Memorial Day Observance In 1971, our National Holiday Act declared Memorial Day a federal holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday of May. This is an official day off work, but it is also a time of official ceremony. At Arlington Cemetery, for example, which began in 1864 and today holds more than 260,000 military graves, over a thousand 3rd US Infantry troops will place American flags on more than 260,000 graves, and will maintain a 24 hour honor patrol through the long weekend.*
