Memorial Day in 2006 fell on the 29th of May; as a rule it is generally celebrated on the last Monday in May. Memorial Day in 2007 will fall on the 28th of May; in 2008, on the 26th of May; in 2009, on the 25th of May; and in 2010, on the 31st of May; because all these days are the last Mondays in those years. Memorial Day commemorates those who died serving in the military of the United States. It was first observed to commemorate those who died in the American Civil War. Later, after the First World War it was extended to include all those who died for their country in any military engagement. People honour these heroes in different ways. Some visit cemeteries while others fly the flag at half mast.
