Did you know? 5 Facts about Memorial Day History and Traditions | |
- Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day originated in the years following the Civil War. During World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- The Civil War claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries.
| |
- In 1966, the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day. Waterloo - which first celebrated the day on May 5, 1866 - was chosen because it hosted an annual, community-wide event, during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.
- On May 30, 1868, the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Civil War soldiers buried there.
| |
- In the spring of 1915, bright red flowers began poking through the battle-ravaged land across northern France and Belgium. The sight of the bright red flowers against the dreary backdrop of war inspired the poem, "In Flanders Field," in which voice was given to the soldiers who had been killed in battle and lay buried beneath the poppy-covered battlefields. Later that year, the poem, "We Shall Keep the Faith" began a campaign to make the poppy a symbol of tribute to all who died in war. The poppy remains a symbol of remembrance to this day.

"The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart... should swell into a mighty chorus of remembrance, gratitude and rededication on this solemn occasion." - Abraham Lincoln | |
National Moment of Remembrance
The National Moment of Remembrance asks us all, wherever we are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, to pause in an act of national unity. The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most of us are enjoying our freedoms on the national holiday. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which we all, alone or with family and friends, pause in silence to honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be.
