Monday Briefing: Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a federal holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in our armed forces.

USS Constitution will fire a 21-gun salute at Noon on Monday.

Garden of Flags

The annual Garden of Flags at Boston Common will be on display until 6 pm on Monday, May 29. Each flag of the 37,000 represents a person from Massachusetts who has died in service in all military engagements since the Revolutionary War.
