Memorial Day and Veterans Day

Essays for Advance

Laura was confused. She came to the

United States a year ago. She didn't

understand the difference between

Memorial Day and Veterans Day. She knew

that both holidays had to do with

remembering and honoring people who had

fought in wars for the United States. She

also knew that both days were national

holidays. On both days banks, schools and

the post offices were closed; on both

holidays, stores offered special sales; on

both holidays, people hung the American

Flag, and sometimes there were even

fireworks. Laura had seen on television that

on both days the President of the United

States made a speech and visited a

cemetery laying a wreath on the grave ofa

soldier. Laura decided to ask the mailmansoldier. Laura decided to ask the mailman

Brian what the difference was. She figured

he would know since he had both days off

from work.

The next day when Brian was dropping

off Laura's mail, she asked him. Brian

explained that Memorial Day is usually

observed on the last Monday of May. This

meant that it could be on a different date

every year., Memorial day is a day for

remembering and honoring those in the

military who died, especially if they died in a

battle. Brian also told Laura that Memorial

Day was also considered the unofficial start

of summer. Many public beaches would

open on Memorial Day. Veterans day is a day

set aside to thank and honor all people who

served in the United States military. Brian

explained that Veterans Day is also to

remember those that are still alive. Brian

told Laura that the date for Veterans Day

never changes. It is always held on

November 11, which was the date when

World War I ended in 1918.
