Memorial Day

I hope everyone got a chance to get out to honor our fallen veterans or at least took a few moments to reflect on their sacrifice.



This year, like every other year, the United States is celebrating Memorial Day in a big way. For those across the world that do not know what Memorial Day stands for and its significance in American life, here is a brief introduction to this special American holiday.

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It is a day on which America remembers those of its citizens who sacrificed their lives serving their country. America celebrates this day on the last Monday of May each year, and the celebrations, spread across the country, are all towards respecting the dead.


There are usually Memorial Day services, veterans’ parades, citizen’s parades, candlelight vigils, and other related activities. (Daisy Sarma - Money Times)

Rolling Thunder makes an appearance in DC. That many bikes is an impressive sight!
