A Memorial Day Parade is a public event held in many towns and cities across the United States to honor and remember the men and women who have died while serving in the military. These parades typically take place on the last Monday in May, coinciding with Memorial Day, a federal holiday dedicated to commemorating fallen soldiers. During the parade, participants often include veterans, active military personnel, marching bands, and local organizations. Floats, flags, and patriotic music are common sights and sounds, creating a festive yet respectful atmosphere. The event serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom and encourages community involvement.
