Memorial Day

Postby AKPirate » Wed May 21, 2014 3:05 pm

Definition below:

Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Have a great one everyone and take a moment to reflect on their sacrifice.

Sorry but I disagree and vote for Veteran's Day.

The most important day to me is...
















opening day of duck season.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

I knew the general idea for memorial day, but I've never read an actual definition like that.
