Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend occurs annually in late May in the United States, marking the unofficial start of summer. It honors military personnel who have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. The holiday includes ceremonies, parades, and visits to cemeteries to remember fallen soldiers. It also coincides with the beginning of summer leisure activities, such as barbecues, travel, and outdoor events. Many people see it as a time to relax and spend time with family and friends, while also reflecting on the sacrifices made for national freedom.
