第一个正式的阵亡将士纪念日 (Memorial Day) :1868530

第一个阵亡将士纪念日 (最初称为勋章日) 于1868年的511日在阿灵顿国家公墓正式举行纪念仪式。而现在全国性的纪念活动也还在这里举办,人们会把花环放在无名士兵墓之上,并且在每一个坟墓上放置一面小的美国国旗。这个节日后来稍微有点改变,与一开始的意义有点不同,因为有人认为在罗根公布之前,这个节日就已经存在了。


The first national celebration of Memorial Day (originally Decoration Day) took place May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery. The national observance of Memorial Day still takes place there today, with the placing of a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the decoration of each grave with a small American flag. The holiday has changed a bit since it first began, which some argue was even earlier than Logan's dedication.
