       "Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in 1971, formally known as Decoration Day. The National Memorial Day Observance is to honor America's fallen military service members. It now falls on the last Monday in May.
        Today, members of the Old Guard decorate the graves at Arlington National Cemetery with small American flags on the Thursday before Memorial Day. In only four hours, Old Guard service members plant flags in front of approximately 280,000 headstones and the bottom of about 7,000 niche (for cremated remains) rows. This is a tradition that has been in place since 1948."
