General John Logan had wreaths laid on the graves of both union and confederate soldiers at Arlington National Commentary. General Logan believed this would be the first step to healing wounds, left over from the Civil War, between the North and South. This celebration was carried out every year until World War I. After World War I the ceremony was changed to honor the dead of all wars. However, Memorial Day did not become an official Federal holiday until 1968 when Congress designated the last Monday of May as a day to honor those who lost their lives in armed services.

May. In 1914 President Wilson signed the bill that made Mother's Day
a national holiday.
