As we live our lives, sometimes we forget the roots of our traditions. This year I wanted to “quiz” you on the Memorial Day Holiday.
Have fun with it… and share it with you kids so we can keep the tradition of remembering our fallen Soldiers who fought for centuries to protect and preserve our Freedoms.
1. What was Memorial Day previously referred to?
2. What State held the first Memorial Day celebration?
3. What War originally established the holiday?
4. What was the purpose behind celebrating Memorial Day?
5. What was the one event that took place on Memorial Day that nearly all cities no longer hold?
6. What year was Memorial Day officially established as a Federal Holiday?
7. How has the Memorial Day holiday evolved since it became a Federal Holiday?
