THE ABSOLUTE REAL MEANING OF MEMORIAL DAY...
This isn’t a day for food, BBQs, poolside parties, decorating with patriotic items and so on or a 3-Day Weekend. If this is what it is for you, you've got it all wrong.
Observed the last Monday in May, Memorial Day honors those who LOST their lives while in service to the United States during peace and war.
Memorial Day is not a celebration but a solemn day to reflect on veterans and military personnel who are deceased.
What Is The Meaning Of Memorial Day In The U.S.?
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 feel the need to say something, try “Have a meaningful Memorial Day.”
Don't misunderstand this day. In otherwords, be grateful for your freedom, because some gave ALL for you.
