While grilling out is one thing associated with Memorial Day in the U.S., it's observed next Monday, but the holiday wasn't always called Memorial Day.
Back in the late 1860s, it was known as Decoration Day, recalling when flowers were placed on the graves of those who died in the Civil War.
Over the decades and conflicts that followed, it became Memorial Day, a time to honor and remember all U.S. service men and women who died in wartime.
Church services, parades, speeches, a wreath laying at the tombs of the Unknowns, these are some of the events that take place every year on the last Monday in May.
Symbolically, it's also seen as the beginning of summer in the U.S.
From South to North, here are three of the schools watching us today.
It's time for "The Roll Call" starting in the Volunteer state.

Space travel is expensive.
It's dangerous.
And it's fascinating.
Fewer than 600 people have ever done it.
烧烤是和美国纪念日有关的一件事情，具体在下周一，但是假期并不总是称为纪念日。回溯到十九世纪60年代晚期，它叫做装饰节，在内战中死去的人的坟墓前更新鲜花。
在过去的几十年里，陆续都有冲突发生，节日就变成纪念日，一个纪念和铭记在战争中死去的人的日子。
教堂活动、游行、演讲、放花圈，这些都是每年在五月最后一个周一所举行的活动。
象征意义上，这也是美国夏天的开始。
从南到北，有三个学校都在今天观看我们的节目。
在志愿者州，是时候开始号召活动了。
Oak Ridge高中，很高兴能在这个高中见到你。这里是野猫之乡。
在展示自我的州，像我展示无视。
我们在密苏瑞的Arnold 福克斯高中见到他们。
