Veterans Day vs. Memorial Day
Last year, I shared the story of my personal connection with the local Anthem Veterans Memorial. I was lucky enough to create and place pavers to honor a very special group of veterans. They were a group of 13 Quantico Marine athletes who died in service during the Vietnam War, one of whom was my uncle, 2nd Lt. John Bruce Capel. I am so happy to have been able to memorialize these brave men in some small way — and this month, you can commemorate our fallen veterans too. Each year, there are two events at the Anthem Veterans Memorial: one on Veterans Day at 10 a.m., and one on Memorial Day (which is on May 30) at 9 a.m. We have talked about the Veterans Day event before, but you may ask: What is the difference between the two holidays? Why do we honor both? Both holidays are observances to honor those who have served in the military. Veterans Day is dedicated to all those who have served; however, Memorial Day particularly honors those who were killed during their service. VETERANS DAY VS. MEMORIAL DAY What’s the Difference?
Veterans Day is an important holiday for thanking all of our living and fallen veterans for their contributions to our country’s security. Many of our living veterans have sacrificed physically and mentally to serve our country; they and their families often continue to live with these sacrifices. Memorial Day is also important. We cannot forget the inspiring sense of urgency, duty, and patriotism that propelled millions of brave men and women to protect their country for the ultimate price, their lives. Consider starting off your summer by joining Dennis and me at the Anthem Veterans Memorial this month, along with the Daisy Mountain Veterans and Anthem Community Council for “A Day of Remembrance” on Memorial Day, May 30. The ceremony will last about 45 minutes, and please bring your own seating. Do not be shy to email me at Lisa@dljoneshomes.com if you plan to attend! We would love to see your familiar face.
