Hey,my name is Judith Vega,I'm student at Morehead High School on 9th grade .I'm going to write about Memorial Day.
Memorial Day
At Memorial Day honored the soldiers who died in the Civil War.The first memorial day was observed in 1865 by liberated slaves as the historic race track in Charleston.
The holidays included Washington's Birthday,Presidents Day,Veterans Day, and Memorial Day.
The change moved Memorial Day from itstraditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May.
Some of the places creating an early memorial day include Charleston, South Carolina; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Carbondale, Illinois; Columbus, Mississippi; many communities in Vermont; and some two dozen other cities and towns.
It is a legal holiday.Schools,banks, and post offices are closed.People decorate graves of soldiers with flowers and little American flags. Many people think of Memorial Day as the official start of the summer season. In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events.
This holiday is only celebrated in the U.S.
