Memorial Day Foundation The Memorial Day Foundation: Honor Through Remembrance One such way is with flowers.

The Memorial Day Foundation's vision is to continually involve the public in patriotism and remembrance via historical and traditional ways of observing Memorial Day. The gift of flowers at a memorial site is a ritual practiced worldwide in every culture. As you may know, Memorial Day began as Decoration Day, when on May 30th, Americans would decorate the graves of Civil War Veterans with flowers.

On June 6, 1944, the sands of Omaha Beach became the scene of one of the most difficult and costly battles of D-Day. Facing fierce German defenses, American soldiers fought through heavy gunfire, obstacles, and rough seas to secure a foothold in Normandy.

More than 2,000 Americans were killed, wounded, or missing that day, but their courage and determination helped turn the tide of World War II. As we remember Omaha Beach, we honor the heroes who charged forward against overwhelming odds so that future generations could live in freedom.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
