What's Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered.[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May,[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.[3] It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.

Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountains. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with kinfolk and others. There often is a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.[4]

Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.[5]



















TLDR, its the day we remember the people that died making America awesome.

Still downloading the patch, which I guess isn't a common enough problem to be listed in the poll options. -_-

Playing ESO

I'll be playing ESO and SWTOR. I only have one character that I'm taking into the veteran levels and with a group of 4 but I also think they will hot patch the system they implemented. I have to get reused to my sword and board now but she's only level 22 so I haven't gotten far enough to be bugged by the nerfs.

Shouldn't you be at an Occupy Movement somewhere, complaining about all those first-world conveniences you take for granted?

Ah, well I'm British and for me this weekend is not Memorial Day Weekend.

But I'm not knocking it either, we have our own holidays remembering the Honoured Dead.
