Memorial Day Images

On this page you’ll find twelve beautifully illustrated Memorial Day Images. They are based on an assortment of posters promoting military recruitment, U.S. government bonds, and branches of the service. There’s a image of a sailor with a signal flag, soldiers escorting Lady Liberty, and more. Initially known as Decoration Day, the holiday was formalized on May 5, 1868, by General John A. Logan, leader of the Grand Army of the Republic (an organization of Union veterans). The First National Observance: Logan’s “Memorial Day Order” designated May 30, 1868, as a day to decorate the graves of comrades who died defending their country. After you’re finished here, you might enjoy viewing other galleries with Pictures for Memorial Day or US Flags Pictures. Have fun!
