| A Courtesy Graphic photo The day was established by Congress in 1971 as an official federal holiday, named Memorial Day. It was originally called Decoration Day, and started as a day set aside to visit and to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. It is a day of remembrance for all those who have died in service of the United States of America. Since it is a day for more than Special Sales & BBQ's, please attend the Memorial Day Service by the Montague Municipal Building on Monday, May 27th, at 11 am.
