Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day in which we remember those who have died in the service of the United States of America. It is celebrated on the 25^th of May. I was originated during the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Some ways we can show honor and respect on Memorial Day is by saying thank you to all the people in the armed forces and being thankful to them and their families. Most people celebrate this holiday by going to parades, going to the people who risked their lives for us and decorating their grave, and by having barbecues with the family. One way I will do on Memorial Day is thank all the people who have fought in war for our freedom. Also I will spend time with my family and be free because that’s why people risk their lives for to be free.
