Honoring The Fallen

Families and Veterans from the community pay their respect during a Memorial Day ceremony at Birch Hill Cemetery May 25, 2009, Fairbanks, Alaska. Memorial Day observances began following the Civil War when it was known as Decoration Day. This day was dedicated to honoring those who had died during the Civil War. Today, these observances honor all Americans who have given their lives in service to our nation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Laura Max)
