Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May, dedicated to honoring and remembering the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It originated after the Civil War as Decoration Day, when people would decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. The day serves as a time for reflection, remembrance, and appreciation for the sacrifices made for the country, often marked by ceremonies, parades, and family gatherings. It also unofficially marks the beginning of the summer season in the U.S.
