We commemorate the brave sacrifices of our fallen soldiers because they gave their last full measure of devotion for our country and liberty.

Learn how Memorial Day started as a tribute to fallen Union soldiers in the Civil War. It started through many local efforts and became a national, uniform celebration with the leadership of General Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Explore how over time, Memorial Day was the setting for brilliant speeches and commemorations, and changed to include all war dead during World War I.

Review how more recently, a 1 minute silent Moment of Remembrance has been added to Memorial Day, which occurs at 3:00 pm local time.

The future of our country and freedom rests with us to carry on their supreme sacrifices, and to failure to remember that could lead to our doom.
