Honoring the nation’s fallen began May 30, 1868, with Decoration Day. After World War II, May 30 became a day of remembrance for all service members who died in service to the nation. The passage of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971 moved what is now known as Memorial Day to the last Monday in May. In 2000, Congress established the National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day. (U.S. Army photo by Julia Galli)Honoring the nation’s fallen began May 30, 1868, with Decoration Day.
