👉-Ways to Celebrate Memorial Day👈

-Attend a Memorial Day Event

Many towns and cities across the US celebrate with parades and events to recognize Memorial Day—often concluding with a moment of silence or memorial service. These are excellent community events and are perfect for the entire family, combining excitement, education, and the outdoors.

-Plan A Family BBQ To Celebrate Memorial Day

Traditionally seen as the unofficial kick-off to summer, 

Memorial Day is an excellent time to get family and friends together to share stories of the past, exchange gratitude and enjoy a delicious meal together.

This Memorial Day weekend is the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends and relatives that you haven’t seen over the last year. You can even find a local park or beach with BBQ facilities and bring the party there for more space.

-Send A Memorial Day Care Package

Another way to celebrate Memorial Day is caring for those currently serving in our military. Operation Gratitude is a non-profit organization that sends care packages to active military members around the world. Since 2003, they have sent over three million care packages. 

👉-What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?👈

Memorial Day and Veterans Day both honor the sacrifices made by U.S. Veterans but serve different purposes.

Veterans’ Day, originally called “Armistice Day,” is a younger holiday established in 1926 as a way to commemorate all those who had served in the U.S. armed forces during World War I. Memorial Day honors all those who’ve died.

-Memorial Day is the official kick off for Summer!!
