Memorial Day Quotes-What Is Memorial Day?

What is Memorial Day? In the United States, it is a national holiday that is set aside to honor, remember and celebrate Americans who serve or have served in our armed forces. We fly flags, say a few prayers and feel grateful that we live in a free country, which has been given to us by the men and women who have been willing to fight; especially those who have died.

Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
