May 30, observed in the United States in commemoration of those members of the armed forces killed in war. It is officially observed on the last Monday in May. Also called Decoration Day.

Most people decorate all of their relatives graves on Memorial Day. It is not really just for those members of the armed services killed in war anymore.
