Memorial Day is an American Holiday that honors all the men and women in the Armed Forces who have died while serving their country. It was formerly known as Decoration Day and is observed on the last Monday in May.

Cemeteries all across our nation have ceremonies, with flags flying, in honor of the fallen. We also take the time to remember all our family and friends and place flowers on their graves. This photo was taken at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Cincinnati, Iowa. It only shows a small portion of all the flags that are flying there today.
