Memorial Day (originally called Decoration Day) has always been for honoring all military personnel who died during any war or military action in which the United States was involved. What happened in 1967 was that legislation was passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon Banes Johnson that officially changed the name of the holiday from Decoration Day to Memorial Day.
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It was first observed on May 30, 1868, three years after the US Civil War ended, to honor those of the military who had died during the Civil War. After World War I it was expanded to honor all who had died during any war or military action in which the United States had been involved and it generally became known as Memorial Day. But it was not until 1967 that President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the legislation officially renaming the holiday from Decoration Day to Memorial Day.
