Memorial Day is the last Monday in May.
It is a day to remember soldiers who died for our country.
Families visit cemeteries and put flags on graves.
This shows respect for those who sacrificed.
Memorial Day also means summer is starting.
Many people have barbecues and go to the beach.
It is a time to enjoy, but we must not forget why we celebrate.
We honor the brave men and women who fought for our freedom.
