Their roar shakes the earth

A police car leads the pack

Crowds line the streets

Memorial Day Reminders

Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. 

Two brothers gave all for their country.
Major Dick Johnson 1831-1864
J.E. Johnson 1839-1864

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. 

In Everlasting Memory, We, the people of Narragansett, dedicate this memorial for the courage, valor, and sacrifices of our Veterans in Vietnam.

Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. 

Celebrating Veterans from many different Wars! 

Unofficially, at least, it marks the beginning of summer.
