Let us not forget the true purpose of Memorial Day. This federal U.S. holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, is a tribute to the brave military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Armed Forces. Originally known as 'Decoration Day,' it is celebrated with uplifting traditions like decorating graves with flags, vibrant parades, and a National Moment of Remembrance. May we unite to honor the memories of our brave loved ones who have courageously served and sacrificed for our nation. We are the Home of the Free because of the Brave!
