Dear Editor,
Memorial Day is dedicated to remembering those that have died while serving in this country's armed forces. According to the Holy Prophet of Islam, “Love of one’s country is a part of faith” (Sakhavi).
As such, I love this nation and the many rights and privileges it provides me. Veterans were critical in ensuring these freedoms and rights and I am extremely grateful for their service.

About Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers.
