məˈmôrēəl ˌdā/
noun
noun: Memorial Day
- a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May.
Today is a special day. As you go about your holiday, having out by the swimming pool, having hamburgers/hotdogs, or just enjoying a relaxing day off at home, take a moment to remember what this day is actually about. Remember to pay respect to those who died defending our country. They put themselves in harms way to protect what we hold dear and made the ultimate sacrifice. Remember them.
It can be as simple as a moment of silence to reflect, or you can go and visit a cemetery. Just do something to keep that memory of those that gave so much alive. They deserve it.
