Memorial Day is the US holiday when we remember our fallen service members.  It is different than Veterans Day when we honor all persons who have served in the armed forces.

History of Memorial Day

Memorial Day - Should we mourn or celebrate?

  1. I like a little of both. There are those to remember and then some time to celebrate their impact.

    I would also like to see some folk added to the list of those Memorialized. A lot gave their all to the pandemic and lost during their efforts. This day should be theirs too.
