Some Exciting Ways to Enjoy Memorial Day Weekend
Happy Memorial Day to all! As the long-weekend wraps up, we hope that you’ve gotten to enjoy some quality time with family and friends. Since Memorial Day is often considered the ‘unofficial’ start to Summer, many like to incorporate cookouts, sun-lounging, and road-trips over the weekend surrounding and day-of. Within this blog there are two sections: one section commemorates the holiday itself, showing respect to those that lost their lives honoring America and the other section provides some ideas of celebratory activities to do with friends and family. Enjoy the read and have a safe holiday!
In Remembrance
It is important to remember the reason we celebrate Memorial Day: to honor those who lost their lives while serving our country. While taking a moment to honor and remember those lost souls, we want to offer some possible ways to show appreciation and remembrance to those individuals on this commemorative holiday.
Place a flag or representative object in your front lawn.
Hold a moment of silence (by yourself or with others).
Donate your time or money to the Department of Veterans Affairs or other organization that cares for those - past or present - that have served our country.
Post or retweet significant and/or meaningful remembrance content on social media.
Pay respects at a local cemetery by placing flags on the graves of fallen soldiers.
In Celebration

Host a cookout with friends and family.
