Memorial day is a United States Federal Holiday that is observed on the last Monday in May,
May 27, 2013.
It is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
The day was first enacted as "Decoration Day" to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War in 1868.
It was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City has a 1pm ceremony in the chapel on Memorial Day each year.

Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery is especially solemn and beautiful. Linked here:
