Some US States are remembering those who died in the US Civil War with a Confederate Memorial Day on today, Monday, April 24, 2017. Alabama and Mississippi still recognize this holiday. Georgia also has a holiday today but it is no longer called Confederate Memorial Day and is called just a State Holiday. South Carolina recognizes this day in the month of May.
As with all other wars, we honor those who lost their lives during this time.
