 started in the Waterloo. Now people celebrate the holiday all over the US still be doing that this weekend. But they’re going to call it in a different name. For lots of folks, this means three days of cook outs, pool parties, time-off from schools or works. But there is a deeper meaning in this annual events and we examine it right here.

 
It started as the decoration day. During the Civil War, the deadliest conflict in the history, Americans would decorate the graves of the troops who died in battle. The holiday became Memorial Day after WW I in honor of fallen servicemen. And that’s what distinguish it from veteran’s day, while that occasion, honors everyone who’s ever served to the US Arms Forces, Memorial Day honors everyone who is died in US wars. This unifying 1 theme is symbolized 2 as the tombs of the unknowns in the Arlington National Cemetery 3. It was originally known as the tomb of the unknown soldiers who died in WW I. But in 1958, unknown troops from WW II and the Carrier War were also interred 4 there. You’ll see the ceremony of reframe at the tomb every Memorial Day. You’ll also see flags and hear suffuses 5 across the nation. Unofficially, Memorial Day signals the beginning of the summer, which in a way, also makes it attribute to life.
 
Take characters to serve the US Arm Forces, and head it in this Memorial Day weekend, we ask how you will define character. Well in the sense, character is who you are and what you do when no one is watching. A A’s saying it’s the type of person you really are which is showing through your actions when you’re by yourself. B defines character as being a role model to others who want to be successful in their lives. S believes character is who you are, doesn’t matter where you come from, or what your surroundings look like. J feels it as how you act when you have to make a difficult decision. J R: character is what defines you as a person, our football team has a motto, ability may get you to the top, but character is what keeps you there. V defines character as something that a person has that proves that they can be responsible and that they can be trusted. And to Nicholas, character is who you are in the inside; it’s not who you pretend to be, or who you become so that others would like you. 
 
The comments there. And before we go today, how do you celebrate a 95th birthday? If you are at Restaurant in Detroit, drop it like its hot dog. Apparently 6, they drop a whole lot of them. It doesn’t seem much like a party, but they are not done yet. Once the hotdogs hit the ground, people then run in, trying to scoop 7 up as many as they could. The winner gets 1000 bucks 8 and a lifetime supply of, guess what, at least one person decided 9 to feed part of what you pick up to his pup. You know what they say, it’s a *** world. All right, let’s gonna wrap things up for us today before we go, though, we do want to congratulate the ** Pirate for getting in this weeks, social * question, right, we’ll not have a show on Monday; we’re off the year observance of Memorial Day. We’ll see you again on Tuesday, unless you’re out of school for the summer in which case we wish you all the best. For the rest we’ll see on Tuesday, for CNN Student News, I’m Carl Azus.
