Did you know that after World War I, the USA changed the Memorial Day observance from remembering Civil War soldiers to honoring all dead military on May 30? That is true, and historians believe that particular date was chosen because flowers were in bloom at this time of year and could be made into wreaths to place at the gravestones of fallen soldiers.

In 1971, Congress made Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday of May, so it no longer comes on the same date each year. Today, folks gather in memory of the fallen and also to celebrate life on Memorial Day. In fact, most Americans surveyed believe that Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer.
