Honoring Memorial Day

#memorialday2024 is a day to remember and honor fallen soldiers who died while serving in the U.S. military. Here are some ways you can properly honor them:

Attend a ceremony or parade: Many towns and cities hold Memorial Day parades or ceremonies. Attending one is a great way to show your respect for those who served.
Visit a cemetery: You can visit a national cemetery or a local one to pay your respects. Placing flags or flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers is a common tradition.
Participate in the National Moment of Remembrance: At 3:00 pm local time on Memorial Day, a nationwide moment of remembrance is held. You can pause for a minute of silence wherever you are to reflect on the meaning of the day.
Learn about Memorial Day: Take some time to learn about the history of Memorial Day and the sacrifices made by fallen soldiers. You can find resources online or at your local library.
Honor veterans: While Memorial Day honors those who died serving, you can also take this opportunity to show appreciation to veterans who are still alive. Thank a veteran for their service or volunteer your time to help veterans organizations.
