Memorial Day

1.         Memorial Day is a Federal Holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

2.       The purpose of Memorial Day is to remember the people who have given their life for our nation and for our happiness and future.

3.       Memorial Day is on the last Monday of May.

4.       Some ways we could show honor and respect on Memorial Day is to just give a moment of silence for all the people that have passed before us and to just celebrate the lives people have given for the country.

5.       Congress passed a law in 2000 that requires all Americans to stop what they are doing at 3pm on Memorial Day to remember and to honor those who have died serving the United States. President Clinton signed this action.

A couple of things i will do to honor this day is just pay my respects to everyone who has passed before me and to just pray God has them in his kingdom safe and sound.
