That’s why Memorial Day is more than BBQs and white sales. It’s a day of unity, where political affiliations, religious beliefs, and social standings are set aside. We come together as a nation to honor the commitment and sacrifice of our military personnel, and to remember that our freedoms are built on the bedrock of their service.
As we prepare for this year’s Memorial Day, let’s all take a moment to remember its true significance. Let’s engage in acts of remembrance, such as visiting cemeteries or memorials, raising the flag, and taking a moment of silence at 3 p.m. local time – the national moment of remembrance.
