Memorial Day occurs on the last Monday in May and marks the solemn time when Americans honor the soldiers that died in military service. When the observance was first declared in 1868 by General John Logan, it was called Decoration Day in reference to a tradition of decorating the graves of those whose lives were lost in the Civil War and its set date was May 30. In the years following World War I, the day picked up the more inclusive name Memorial Day as people began to use it as a time to honor all who died in all U.S. wars. For many, the holiday signifies the unofficial beginning of summer.
