Memorial Day is to thank the veterans and people who died in the military. So when we stop for a moment of silence we show the people who fought for our country respect and we thank them for what they did. What did they do? They fought in the war for us they have did plenty things so Memorial Day is about respecting those who have died and and veterans, and people who are in the military for what they have done. Happy Memorial Day!
