Memorial Day is a . . . .


Memorial Day is a US federal holiday that honors the soldiers. It is observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, which begun as a ritual of remembrance  it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service. 

Memorial Day has now become an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visit the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had served in the military or not.

So we here at Expressive Collections 
would like to tell everyone to have a 
Happy and Safe Memorial Day weekend!
