Seeing as I'm not American, I was hoping someone could answer this question for me, as I'm a little confused.
Is American Memorial Day only for American soldiers, or the soldiers and their allies? I only ask because on CNN this week I saw a little Memorial thing for all the Americans and the Allies who fell in Afghanistan and Iraq. It confused me as to whether the day was actually just for American service personnel or for Allied as well.

Yeah, the idea is that it's only for American soldiers, but it doesn't have to be. If someone wanted to mention/honor British, Canadian, or other American allies, very, very few here would object to that.

Formally, Americans only, but informally, allies as well.....which is very common
