Memorial Day

 Memorial Day is an American holiday that happens on the last Monday of May, in which we honor the men and woman who died while serving in the U.S. military. 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 visiting cemeteries or memorials holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.Some ways of celebrating this holiday is by making a cookout with your family and praying to god and thanking all the men and woman who died while protecting the U.S.

Some ways that I will celebrate this holiday is by watching the parades on the television and when it is dinner time I will say a quick amen to the men and woman who are protecting are great nation.

Reflection:My thoughts on memorial day are that we should always honor those who fought and bleed for our country. We should be more grateful for those who died in the line of service for this nation because those are the men and woman who knew that they would never see there family and friends ever again but chose to die for this nation. While I don't like war an its a sad thing to think about all the families that don't have a parent there because they either died or at war we should always look up to these men for they are doing something that most of us in this nation won't do. My feelings about this event go out to the families of those who lost someone to a war for they have gone through a tough time while always never knowing when there loved one would die or come back until you see a man coming with a flag in his arms.
