UNITED STATES– Memorial Day has passed! It was a time to celebrate all the people that bravely fought in war for the U.S.A.’s  justice and died. It was fun to get together with family, have fun outside, and if it’s hot enough, maybe even enjoy the pool.  We even had off of school from Friday through Monday for this fun event. Memorial Day was originally a sad holiday, but people essentially made it a happy one.

To find out what other people did, I interviewed Giana Pizzutiello on the topic. She said, “I went to my Uncle Dave’s house and we went in the pool.”

Rachael Janos said, “I went to the beach and rode my bike. What did you do for Memorial Day?”

I had a great time. I went to different pools and I had a party with my family.

For Memorial Day, soldiers come to New York. It’s called Fleet Week. The boats were open for people to go check out. That’s why you might have seen one or two.

Hopefully you enjoyed your hot dogs and hamburgers on Memorial Day, but don’t forget what it’s really all about.
