5. I did not know that Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Over two dozen cities and towns claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it’s difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day.

6. I will go and try to volunteer and help other people and i am going to also stay home and be with my family.

7.  What i think about Memorial Day is that it’s a good day to take and truly  respect the people who fought for us to gives us freedom.
