Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually on the last Monday of May, dedicated to honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The day also marks the unofficial start of summer and is often celebrated with parades, picnics, and family gatherings. It's an opportunity to pay respect to the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes and to remember the importance of their service and dedication to our country. Many also visit cemeteries or memorials to lay flowers and pay their respects.
