About Memorial Day
Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May in the United States, honouring the men and women who have died while serving in the US military. In 2026, Memorial Day falls on 25 May, and it is marked by ceremonies, parades, and the placing of flags and flowers at military cemeteries across the country.
The 🇺🇸 Flag: United States is the centrepiece of Memorial Day, flown at half-staff until noon in tribute to the fallen. 🎖️ Military medal represents the service and sacrifice of military personnel, while 🕊️ Dove symbolises the peace that those honoured gave their lives to protect.
Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of summer in the United States, but its core purpose remains solemn remembrance. 🌺 Hibiscus is used to represent the poppies and flowers placed at graves and memorials, and 🙏 Folded hands reflects the gratitude and reflection that define the day.
