Memorial Day
- A day on which those who died in active military service are remembered. Traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May.
- Monday, May 29
Make a soldier’s day by writing a thank-you card or note to send overseas. Show honor and respect by visiting a local veteran’s cemetery, or war memorial.Visit and take cookies to a nearby Veteran’s hospital.
- The holiday, originally known as Decoration Day, started after the Civil War to honor the Union and Confederate dead.
- Making a thank you card to send overseas.
- My thoughts on May 29. Is that it is sad how they died. We should all appreciate what they have done for us. We should give thanks to all the soldiers that past away. My feelings are that it is very sad how many children lost their parents at war. Or how many wives lost their husbands in war. Or how many moms and dad lost their sons in war.
