Memorial Day falls on May 28th of this year. It began in the years following the Civil War as an event that was called Decoration Day. It was supposed to be a day of remembrance, and one that encouraged people to scatter flowers and decorate the graves of soldiers who died in combat during the bloodiest war in U.S. history. Today, people celebrate it as the unofficial start of summer. Festivities often include backyard barbecues and trips to a lake for camping or picnics.
