Originally known as Decoration Day, it was established in 1868 to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during the Civil War. Over the years it came to serve as a day to remember all U.S. men and women killed or missing in action in all wars.

Thousands of Sailors, Marines & Coast Guardsmen from U.S. Navy & U.S. Coast Guard ships will be in New York City for Fleet Week from May 23 through May 30.
