2. The purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. No one forced anyone to fight for their citizen veteran made that choice for themselves so we can be alive and free. They sacrifice themselves for us and we should repay them by celebrating their hard work and sacrifices.
3. It's important to have holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day so we can honor people who deserve to be honored. People don't have to fight for their citizens. However, they chose to as citizens of America we should honor the people that are fighting for us. They are putting their lives on hold and their lives on the line so we can continue being free. Just for that we should honor those people died or alive. That's why I believe it's important to have holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
