The first national observance of Decoration Day took place May 30, 1868 at Arlington National Cemetery. The graves of fallen Civil War soldiers were decorated with flowers. Decoration Day was renamed Memorial Day in 1967.

The most popular song in May 1868 was The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze, written by George Leybourne, Gaston Lyle and Alfred Lee about French trapeze artist and acrobat Jules Léotard. (Yes, leotards are named for him.) On November 2, 1928, minstrel singer-guitarist Harry McClintock recorded the song for Victor Records (#21567).
