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.

If you see a message that the Adobe Flash Player is "blocked", go to your browser's Settings page and change Block to Ask First, if possible.
If the red rectangle is empty, your browser might not have the Flash Player. To check this, follow the steps on Adobe's Flash Player Help page.
GAME TIP #2: If you cannot get the Flash-based brain games to work, try the HTML5 brain games instead. HTML5 games do not use the Adobe Flash Player. They work in modern browsers automatically. All the HTML5 games are listed on this page.
