Memorial Day  Memorial day is a federal holiday made to commemorate those who have died for the country.  This day is celebrated once a  year on May 28th. You can show honor and respect on this day by participating in any local parades or events. You can also simply show your respects. I will have a moment of silence for the lost veterans.
