I'm particularly interested in the inclusion/exclusion of non-U.S. coalition forces in Iraq.

Memorial Day is a U.S. holiday to honor our fallen military members - from The War of Independence to the heroes who died in Iraq this morning. Different countries have different ways of honoring theirs; this is our way.

Originally, Decoration Day was started to honor those Union Soldiers who had died during the American Civil War. Later, it became a Holiday to honor Veterans of ALL conflicts.
