Happy Memorial Day Facts via Soft School

The true origins of who held the first Memorial Day celebration is a debated subject.

Approximately 620,000 soldiers on both sides died during the Civil War.

The Grand Army of the Republic was created by the Union Army to honor their dead. After World War I the American Legion took over their duties.

Congress passed a law in 2000 that requires all Americans to stop what they are doing at 3pm on Memorial Day to remember and to honor those who have died serving the United States. President Clinton signed this action.

The flag is supposed to be flown at half-mast until noon, and then raised to full mast until sunset on Memorial Day.

The tradition of wearing red poppies on Memorial Day originated from John McCrae's 1915 poem In Flanders Fields. In Canada they wear red poppies to honor their soldiers on Remembrance Day in November each year.

Although not as popular today, one tradition was to eat a picnic meal while sitting on the ground of a cemetery. There are still some people in the rural areas of the South that continue to practice this tradition.

It's common for volunteers to place the American flag on graves in the national cemeteries. Memorial Day is also a popular day for people to visit cemeteries and honor those who have died while serving in the military.

It's estimated that approximately 32 million people travel by car over Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day also marks the beginning of the summer vacation season while Labor Day marks the end.
