Remembering Americans Who Died in Service

Memorial Day is celebrated in the United States for remembering and honoring those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

On Memorial Day, we honor those and also first responders who have served in some of the greatest tragedies of our times. Many have died in trying to save others.

From 1868 to 1971, Memorial Day was observed on May 30.

After that it was declared a federal holiday to be observed on the last Monday of May.

Take time today to thank soldiers, sailors, Coast Guard, and  Marines.

Thank first responders: ambulance crews, nurses, and doctors and ER teams.

Takeaway Truth

Today and every day, I honor those who gave everything in service to our country.
