Congress made Memorial Day an official national holiday in 1971.
Memorial Day was created to honor U.S. military personnel who lost their lives while
serving our country.
The holiday, which takes place each year on the last Monday in May, serves as a
reminder of the sacrifices that have been made in the service of our country.
However you plan to spend the long weekend, take a moment to pause and reflect
on the incredible sacrifices that have been made on the America’s behalf.
