Dedicated to American military personnel who died in any war, the Memorial Day holiday pays special tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives in the Revolution during the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776 — 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. RW12.
