“Memorial Day is a day no American should ever forget the meaning of. This weekend, we honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.”

Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May, honoring men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. We owe the freedoms we have to those who have given their lives to preserve them.
On this Memorial Day, here are three ways you can honor those who gave everything for all of us:
- Follow Memorial Day etiquette with your flag: If you don’t have a flag on display at your house, this is the perfect weekend to do so. If you have a flag pole, fly your flag at half mast (to recognize those who’ve died in service) until noon and then raise it to its peak (to celebrate all who have served).
- Take a moment to reflect: The National Moment of Remembrance, first proclaimed in May 2000, asks Americans to pause for a duration of one minute at 3 pm local time on Memorial Day in order to remember those who have died in military service to the United States.
- Visit a memorial: There are many museums, memorials, and monuments located all over the country. Find one and take time to pay respect to the men and women who are honored by these symbols of gratitude.
