Memorial Day is a Federal Holiday observed in the United States to honor
all our fallen US soldiers. By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was
an occasion for more general
expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased
relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military
or not. It also became a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping,
family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media
events.
