Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.

EDIT: The website was updated with the following message:
We are no longer accepting cards through the website.
Let’s Say Thanks began more than five years ago as a public way to say “thank you” to the men and women serving our country. Since then, more than 30 million people have visited the website to share their appreciation with our troops through cards featuring children’s artwork from across the country.
In working with our partner organization — Give2TheTroops, a non-profit organization formed to support the physical, moral, and spiritual health of America’s armed Give 2 the Troopsforces in combat zones around the world through letters and packages prepared and shipped by volunteers — we’ve decided to shift the focus of the program to what the troops need most: donations. We will continue to support local cards drives and contests, and we encourage you to continue your support by sending mail, toiletry items or donations via www.give2thetroops.org.
