Memorial Day Layouts & Graphics for MySpace

This Memorial Day why don't you show your support on MySpace and decorate your page with everything patriotic. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 and was first observed on May 30, 1868 to honor those who died fighting in the Civil War and was later changed to honor all Americans who died fighting in any war. It was always observed on May 30th until Congress made it into a three day weekend under the National Holiday Act of 1971 which changed the observance day to the last Monday in May. Many feel this change undermined the meaning of the day and since 1999 bills have been introduced to return the national observance day back to May 30th, but none have yet to be passed. In an attempt to remind Americans of the purpose of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution, which was passed in December, 2000, asks that all Americans, on Memorial Day at 3:00 p.m. local time, to "voluntarily and informally observe in their own was a moment of remembrance and respect..." so how about we all try to remember to do that this year.

Now let's get to the sites that you can find all the stuff you need to make a cool looking MySpace page in remembrance of this day.

No matter what you decide to use to decorate your MySpace page, please try to remember the purpose of Memorial Day. It can be as simple as wearing that "red poppy" flower a vet hands you outside the grocery store, sticking a flag in your front yard and also taking that "Moment of Remembrance" at 3:00 pm on Memorial Day. Let's at the very least try to remind ourselves and educate our children on what this day is all about, especially since it appears we will be adding more to the list of soldiers to be honored. God Bless Them All!
