As we recognize Memorial Day, I wanted to share this post.
Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, is a day to honor members of the military who were killed in service, both during deployments overseas or in training and service in the U.S. Across the country, Americans spend the day visiting cemeteries, attending Memorial Day events, and otherwise honoring those who lost their lives in service to the country. The day also traditionally marks the first unofficial day of summer.
What Do You Say on Memorial Day?
Because Memorial Day is a somber day to honor those who died in service to the country, saying “Happy Memorial Day” is considered bad taste. For those who have lost family or friends through military service, the day is far from happy. If you need to say something, try “Have a meaningful Memorial Day.”
Thanks for reading and have a meaningful Memorial Day!
