Washington DC memorial day

Memorial Day in the United States is a federal holiday, which means it's one of those very rare days in the US where everyone gets the day off, with the National Memorial parade providing the highlight of the day's remembrance activities.

The remembering of the fallen from past and present conflicts is something this nation has always treated with the greatest of seriousness, and having a day to provide a specific focus that is so widely marked is something pretty unique.
