First observed in 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

In memory of all those who served, and continue to honor their nation. Let's not forget the fur hero's too.

And thank you, whoever wrote the wiki entry;
A memorial is an object which serves as a focus for memory of something, usually a person (who has died) or an event.

Long live the planet earth. May she, and her members, prosper.

Shalom
