Memorial Day Sale

Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed in the United States to honor and remember the men and women who have died while serving in the country's armed forces. It is a day of remembrance and a time to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their nation.

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day was first observed after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who lost their lives in the conflict. Over time, it evolved to honor all American military personnel who have died in all wars.

On Memorial Day, people across the country participate in various activities to remember and honor fallen soldiers. This can include attending memorial ceremonies, visiting cemeteries and war memorials, displaying the American flag at half-staff until noon, and participating in parades and other patriotic events. It is also common for families and friends to gather together, hold picnics, and enjoy outdoor activities, as Memorial Day often marks the unofficial start of the summer season in the United States.

While it is essential to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices made by military personnel on Memorial Day, it is distinct from Veterans Day, which is observed in November and focuses explicitly on honoring all veterans, living or deceased, who have served in the U.S. military.
