Dedicated to American military personnel who died in any war, the Memorial Day holiday pays special tribute to the local militiamen who gave their lives in the early months of the Revolution during the Battle of Bunker Hill in June, 1775 — with unique honor bestowed on the Revolutionary War dead as the foundational heroes of American independence. The American Revolution (1765–1783) was a political conflict involving the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and the independence of the colonies as the United States. RW6.
