Remember that this weekend is about those that never came home. Give respect and honor to the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice. Remember their loved ones and those they left behind. Here are some ways you can offer your respect:
- Thank a Veteran.
- Help to decorate your local cemetery. Plant flags on those headstones that aren’t already decorated.
- Teach your children or grandkids the meaning behind Memorial Day and why we celebrate.
- Participate in local celebrations.
- Donate to your local American Legion and VFW by purchasing red poppies in remembrance.
Stay tuned for my post on Monday about some of the traditions we celebrate on Memorial Day.
