Honor Those Who Served on Memorial Day
Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Originally called Declaration Day, Memorial Day is a day to remember those who died while serving their country. Citizens in the northeastern part of the United States have celebrated this day in May since 1868; the South celebrated its own version of Memorial Day on several different dates. After World War I, the whole country observed the holiday on the same day as they remembered everyone who gave their life during a war.
