Memorial Day 2023: A Day of Remembrance

Memorial Day is an official day of remembrance that dates back to 1868, when the nation decided to honor fallen soldiers from the Civil War by decorating their graves with flowers. Originally known as Decoration Day, the month of May was selected for the ceremony because that would be the perfect time for flowers to be in full bloom in North America.

Flowers are a symbol of hope, peace and life, which is why they carry special significance in honoring those who have died. The first national tributes towards fallen soldiers became a powerful moment of patriotic remembrance and an annual event for Americans.

Nowadays, people sometimes associate Memorial Day with BBQs and the "unofficial start to summer", but it's important to remember the original meaning behind Memorial Day. This holiday is a special time to honor soldiers who have died in the line of duty. Memorial Day observances are held throughout the country in various ways – parades, tomb decorations, family gatherings, and more.
