Memorial Day is quickly approaching, and with all of the excitement of the beginning of summer and the opening of the busy season here near the beaches in Atlantic County, it often becomes overlooked that the holiday was created to remember the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. It was originally known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th Century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.
