First observed on May 20th, 1950, the day was created on August 31st, 1949, to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and the U.S. Coast Guard - following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Depart- ment of Defense. The first Armed Forces Day was cele- brated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy established Armed Forces Day as an official holiday. The United States' longest running city-sponsored Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Bremerton, Washington. In 2012, Bremerton celebrated the 64th year of the Armed Forces Day Parade. Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and par- ticipating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the begin- ning of summer.

Celebrating Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day
In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. First observed on May 20th, 1950, the day was created on August 31st, 1949, to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and the U.S. Coast Guard - following the consolidation of the military services in the U.S. Depart-ment of Defense. The first Armed Forces Day was cele-brated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy established Armed Forces Day as an official holiday. The United States' longest running city-sponsored Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Bremerton, Washington. In 2012, Bremerton celebrated the 64th year of the Armed Forces Day Parade.
Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and par-ticipating in parades. Unofficially, at least, it marks the begin-ning of summer.
