ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY. Memorial Day in the United States was created in 1868 just after the end of the Civil War. General John Logan, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a proclamation announcing the holiday "... for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion."

Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May. While it was observed to a degree in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Memorial Day became even more popular after the end of World War II. Many people observe Memorial Day by visiting memorials and cemeteries. Individual communities also hold observances for fallen soldiers from that town.

Many businesses in the U.S. recognize this holiday as a paid vacation day for employees.

Word search puzzles train visual perception, concentration, and analytical ability. Solve puzzles often to give your brain a boost!
