Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the last Monday of May each year. The day honors the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, and it remains one of the most solemn and significant dates on the American calendar.
Remember: Take a moment at 3:00 PM local time on Memorial Day to observe the National Moment of Remembrance, pausing for one minute to honor those who died in military service.
