Memorial Day: Remembering American Brothers in Arms




Memorial Day more that marks the beginning of Summer.
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
In honor of Memorial Day, Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits. Have a peaceful weekend.
