Monday. Last Monday in May is Memorial Day.
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day started in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971 to honor those who served and died in wars.

It's an American remembrance commemorative time to honor our fallen military. Maybe your country has a similar day at a different time?

we always take them to Arlington National Cemetery (normally the Sunday before, because you can't go to Arlington on Memorial day)!

I see. It's a time for giving thanks & to honor them, remembering, these very brave military people. Me too, all of my family who were in the military, passed of natural causes or retired.

@oahuwriter it is funny, in both sides of our family we don't have a single person buried in Arlington Cemetery (you have to receive a medal in combat to be buried there). But we go every year. We are leaving in about 2 hours for this years trip!
