7. My opinions on Memorial day is that Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer: families and friends congregate for a picnic or a barbecue, enjoying the weekend. Memorial Day originated from the Decoration Day when people honored soldiers who died in the Civil War. Later the designation of the day expanded to all the men and women who have died in military service. By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.Today many cities celebrate Memorial Day with memorial services, parades, public speeches and demonstrations. However, it is important to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and reflect on how blessed we are to be able to get together with our loved ones on this beautiful spring day. The best way you can honor someone is by saying thank you. Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.
