We all know Memorial Day as a day off of school and work, and many celebrate with cookouts. But what are we celebrating exactly? Originally known as Decoration Day, a day for remembering those we lost in the American Civil War, it began in 1868, and war widows would decorate the graves of those who died in the war. Today, we honor all Americans who died while serving in the armed forces, and every year American flags are placed on their graves. Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day, which honors all American veterans, not just those who died.
