SUMMARY:Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Memorial Day (originally known as Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in t
he United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_holidays_in_the_Uni
ted_States) for mourning the U.S. military personn
el who have fought and died while serving in the United States armed forces
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_armed_forces). It is observed
on the last Monday of May; from 1868 to 197
0 it was observed on May 30.\nMany people visit cemeteries and memorials on
Memorial Day to honor and mourn those who fought and died while serving in
the U.S. military. Many volunteers place American flags on the graves of m
ilitary personnel in national cemeteries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni
ted_States_national_cemetery). Memorial Day is also considered the unoffici
al beginning of summer in the United States.\nThe first national observance of Memor
ial Day occurred on May 30, 1868.[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoria
l_Day#cite_note-Today_in_History_-_May_30-5) Then known as Decoration Day,
the holiday was proclaimed by Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the
Grand Army of the Republic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Army_of_the
_Republic) to honor the Union soldiers who had died in the Civil
War.[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day#cite_note-6) This
national observance was preceded by many local ones between the end of the
Civil War and Logan's declaration. Many cities and people have claimed to b
e the first to observe it. However, in 2022, the National Cemetery Administration, a division o
f the Department of Veterans Affairs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_
States_Department_of_Veterans_Affairs), credited Mary Ann Williams
with originating the "idea of strewing the graves of Civil War soldier
s - Union and Confederate" with flowers.\nOfficial recognition as a holiday
spread among the states, beginning with New York in 1873. By 1890, every U
nion state had adopted it. The World War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wor
ld_War_I)s turned it into a day of remembrance for all members of the U.
S. military who fought and died in service. In 1971, Congress standardized
the holiday as "Memorial Day" and changed its observance to the last Monday
in May.\nTwo other days celebrate those who have served or are serving in
the U.S. military: Armed Forces Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Fo
rces_Day#United_States) (which is earlier in May), an unofficial U.S. holid
ay for honoring those currently serving in the armed forces, and Veterans Da
y (on November 11), which honors all those who have served in the Unite
d States Armed Forces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Fo
rces).\n
