Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday in May, honors those who have died while in military service. On Memorial Day you can honor the fallen by attending memorial services within your community or laying flowers and planting flags on graves at your local Veterans cemetery.
Do you know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans’s Day?
Memorial Day – last Monday in May – honors those who have giving their lives to protect our freedom while Veteran’s Day – always on November 11th – honors ALL those who have served in the Armed Forces to protect our freedom.
You do not have to wait for a national holiday to show your gratitude to Service members. Any day is a good day to support Veterans either through a charity or giving a heartfelt “Thank You” to those who served.
