Memorial Day is a day to honor those who gave their lives in service to their country. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day.

There were Memorial Day observances in all three local villages and around the nation. There were programs held, and in New Glarus there was a parade and a dedication of a monument in Veterans Memorial Park.
