Silicone wristbands to celebrate the memorial day

Silicone Wristbands To Celebrate The Memorial Day The last Monday in May is the Memorial Day each year. This day is observed to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers who have died while serving the country. Originally, this day was known as Decoration Day because the graves were decorated with flags, flower, and wreaths. In 1971, this day was officially announced as a federal holiday by congress and it also marks the unofficial start of the summer season.

More About The Background Memorial Day was inspired by the way people in the southern states honor the dead. After World War I, the event to honor the dead extended to all men and women who died while serving the country. It was an ancient custom to decorate the grave of a soldier with flowers and all the soldiers’ grave were decorated in the States before the commencement of the war. There was a confusion over the name and date, however after the initial unwillingness and confusion, all the 50 states of America agree to comply with the new date.

The Traditions According to the traditions, the United States flag is lowered to the half-staff position where it stays till noon. For the rest of the day, the flag is raised to the full-staff position. During the first half of the day, the half- staff position salutes and remember more than million of men and women who have given their lives for their country. For the remaining time of the day, the memory of the dead is raised by the living, who resolve to rise up and continue the fight for justice.
