This passage outlines the historical origins and evolution of Memorial Day in the United States. It explains how the concept of honoring the nation's war dead gained momentum after the Civil War, leading to the establishment of Decoration Day on May 30th by General John A. Logan. Over time, Decoration Day evolved into Memorial Day, encompassing all American wars after World War I. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a federal holiday to be observed on the last Monday in May, providing Americans with a three-day weekend to commemorate the sacrifices of fallen soldiers. This historical context can help teachers educate students about the significance of Memorial Day and its importance in honoring the nation's veterans.
