A bit pre-mature, however my normal yearly reminder for this special day
Remember this is a day to honor those service members we have lost both during combat and outside the combat arena. This is for their memory
Although much appreciated, it is NOT a day to thank those of us veterans for our service. It is bad form, as we hold some guilt that we made it home and our brothers did not.
We have our own day for that. Veterans Day.
Also NOT a day to say “Happy Memorial Day”. As it is not a happy day
That being said, there are ways you can honor those we have lost and current veterans with a simple statement or action like:
“Thank you for Making this day Possible”
“Thank you for placing your life on hold for our Freedoms, and sorry for your brethren who did not make it home”
Or you can
Volunteer at a Memorial Day event, or something as simple as going to you local Veteran Cemetery and placing a flag or single poppy on a veteran’s headstone
Thank you
