Memorial Day, May 27, 2024
Originally called Decoration Day, from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths, and flags, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance of those who have died in service of our country. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868 to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers, by proclamation of Gen. John A., Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of former Union sailors and soldiers. New York was the first state to designate Memorial Day as a legal holiday in 1873. After World War I, it became an occasion for honoring those who died in all of America's wars and was then more widely established as a national holiday throughout the U S. In 1971, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act and established that Memorial Day was to be commemorated on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is commemorated at Arlington National Cemetery each year with a ceremony in which a small American flag is placed on each grave. Traditionally, the President or Vice President lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
