American flags are placed on the grave sites of those who served and lost their lives in the service of our country, and many neighborhoods proudly display flags on homes this weekend to honor those veterans who died while serving the United States.  This is a federal holiday traditionally celebrated on the last Monday of May.  It was also known as Decoration Day, originated at the end of American Civil War (1868). Memorial Day is reserved for those American Soldiers who laid their lives so that the others may live a peaceful life, this is a special day to pay tribute to the indomitable will, eternal courage and great love for the nation that resonates in their heart.  Memorial Day is reserved for those American Soldiers who laid their lives so that the others may live a peaceful life, this is a special day to pay tribute to the indomitable will, eternal courage and great love for the nation that resonates in their heart.   Our thoughts and prayers are lifted to those special men and women who have given their lives in hope of protecting their loved ones, friends and family, and hope for one day to establish a peaceful world.
