The University of Texas has always had a strong connection with the United States military. In fact, the school football stadium was originally built in 1924 as a tribute to Texans who served in World War I. It was rededicated to honor all individuals who have served in times of war in 1977.

Memorial Day is one of the most popular federal holidays in the United States. In addition to its solemn purpose, the day also marks the unofficial start of summer in the country. The day is often celebrated with paying homage, parades, family gatherings, and outdoor activities.
