Memorial Day's Shift from Solemn to Summer
Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description
Memorial Day isn’t just about grilling and beach trips—it’s a solemn tribute to fallen service members, rooted in 1868’s Decoration Day tradition. Moved to the last Monday in May in 1971 to create a three-day weekend, the holiday’s shift unintentionally turned it into a summer kickoff, blurring its original purpose for many. But beneath the BBQ smoke and sunshine, remember: this day honors those who gave everything.
