Marines onboard the USS Intrepid hold Memorial Day wreaths as hundreds of service members, veterans, citizens and families of fallen heroes held a Memorial Day commemoration in Manhattan May 31, 2004. Originally a day to remember those lost in the Civil War, Memorial Day has grown into a weekend to honor military men and women who have fought in any battle to conserve freedom and serve the United States.
