Patriotic Salute

Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer holidays in the United States and is traditionally a time for celebration and family outings. Celebrated in most states on the last Monday in May, it is a time to remember the U.S. men and woman who lost their lives serving their country. Established in 1868, over the years it has come to serve as a day to remember all U.S. men and women killed or missing in action in all wars.
