Memorial Day is a US holiday to honor all military personnel who died during a war or military action in which the United States was involved. It started being observed in 1868, three years after the US Civil War ended when it was called Decoration Day. It will continue to be observed to honor those who died and will include any future conflict that involves the United States.
