State Holiday Confederate Memorial Day (Alabama)

Confederate Memorial Day is observed in several states in the southern United States to honor and remember those who served and died as soldiers or in support of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The date of observation varies from state to state. The day typically includes ceremonies, parades, and the decoration of Confederate graves and monuments.
