How and Why is Memorial Day Celebrated?

History of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a public event in the United States for honouring the people that died during their service in the United States defence forces. Memorial Day is derived originally from Decoration days in America. Memorial Day for specific tombs are held on a Sunday in late spring,  specifically in the mountain areas. For gatherings associated with the family graveyard where distant forefathers as well as those, who were passed on recently, are concealed, this may take on the charm of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People surround on the designated day and settle fresh flowers on tombs and re-establish association with family and friends. It is said that this ritual started since the American Civil War and thus, mirrors the true native of the “Memorial Day” concept.
