Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died protecting and serving in the country's armed forces. It is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag in every grave in national cemeteries. On Memorial Day the United States flag is raised to the top of the staff and then lowered to the half-staff position, which remains until noon. It is then raised to full staff for the remainder of the day. Some things that I will do to respect this day is pray for those who are in grieving, give thanks to the people that have served our country.

I think memorial day is a very special day all across the world. It is the day that we give thanks to those who have served and provided for our country. We also thank and celebrate for the one’s that have made it back. We grieve the loss that others and ourselves are going through. Some people don’t know how to cope with this because it is hard to lose someone you love. I’m not saying that you will forget about them, but your heart will mend, and you will be fine soon. We need to move on because that is how life is. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the people that have died for us. We should respect and honor the people that have done so much for us and the country.
