The History of Memorial Day

May 26 is Memorial Day, the day America sets aside to honor its servicemembers who have fallen in battle.  Visit the VA's Memorial Day website for information on the history of the day, this year's Moment of Remembrance poster, and instructional materials such as proper display of the flag and the playing of Taps.

To locate a military-themed museum, monument or memorial, visit the Military.com Museum and Memorial Guide.
