Memorial Day, American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died for our country. It was originally 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 decorating graves with flowers, flags and wreaths, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. It marks the beginning of summer.
