Memorial Day coloring pages help honor an important American holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May each year. The day is set aside to remember the men and women of the United States military who died while serving their country.
Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day after the Civil War, when people would place flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. Over time, it became a day to remember all members of the U.S. Armed Forces who lost their lives in service. In 1971, Memorial Day officially became a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May.
On this day, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, attend parades, and display American flags. It is also often seen as the unofficial start of summer in the United States.
You will see some of that patriotic imagery in this collection of free Memorial Day coloring pages, including flags, eagles, stars, soldiers, poppies, and other symbols connected to remembrance and national pride.
