A
Americans celebrate Memorial Day on the last Monday in May.Its not just about a day off school and the beginning of summer.This holiday goes all the way back to the Civil War and is celebrated by millions of people,especially Americas veterans(退伍).Memorial Day is a day to remember all those who died while serving their country.
The first Memorial Day was observed on May 30,1866 in Columbus,Georgia by womens groups who decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers.In 1868,General John Logan (a member of the Senate[参议院] at the time),officially made Memorial Day a holiday to honor soldiers who had died in the Civil War.After World War I,the holiday didnt just honor those who died fighting in the Civil War but honored all Americans who died fighting in any war.Although the majority of the country celebrates Memorial Day on the last Monday in May,some southern states celebrate it on different days.
Since the late 1950s,the 1,200 soldiers of the 3rd US Infantry(步兵团) put small American flags on every grave (there are about 260,000 of them) at Arlington National Cemetery on the Thursday before Memorial Day.They then patrol(巡逻) the graveyard 24 hours a day during the weekend to make sure that every flag remains standing.On the Saturday before Memorial Day,the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts place a candle at each grave (there are about 15,300 of them) at the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on Maryes Heights.Theyve been doing this since 1998.
