Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors and mourns the military personnel who have died in the performance of their duty. It is observed on the last Monday of May each year, and it is also considered the unofficial start of the summer season. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, and it began in the years following the Civil War as a way of commemorating the fallen soldiers. Over time, it expanded to include all American war dead, and it became an official federal holiday in 1971. On Memorial Day, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and some volunteers place American flags on each grave at national cemeteries. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. local time. Another tradition is to wear red poppies, which symbolize the blood shed by those who fought and died for their country.
