Each year, on the last Monday of May, Americans pause to observe Memorial Day—a solemn occasion to honor and remember the men and women of the U.S. military who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

While many associate the holiday with the unofficial start of summer, backyard barbecues, and long weekends, its roots run far deeper. Originally known as Decoration Day, the tradition began after the Civil War as a way to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers and flags.

Memorial Day is marked by parades, memorial services, and a national moment of remembrance at 3:00 PM local time. It’s a time to reflect on the cost of freedom and to express gratitude for those who gave their lives to protect it.

As we enjoy time with family and friends, let’s not forget the meaning behind the day. Even a simple gesture—like flying the flag at half-staff or visiting a veterans’ cemetery—can be a powerful tribute to those who served and sacrificed.

Freedom isn’t free. This Memorial Day, we remember why.
