POWERFUL WAYS TO HONOR OUR VETERANS

Editor’s Note: In light of COVID-19, please use extreme cautionwhen honoring veterans and thosewho died in the line of duty thisMay. Checkwith your local municipality for precautions, rescheduled events, and updates. Thank you. Every year, Memorial Day reminds us to honor those who paid the ultimate price for their country. While Veterans Day recognizes all service members, Memorial Day is dedicated specifically to those who lost their lives during their service in the U.S. military. The holiday, celebrated on May 25 this year, also marks the unofficial start to summer. While you’re enjoying your three-day weekend, don’t forget to honor those who died while protecting your rights. Here are some simple ways to honor that sacrifice. Visit Memorials Many parks, public buildings, and monuments feature memorials that honor veterans who have lost their lives. Visit one of these monuments and spend some time learning about
our nation’s history and the tragic cost of war. This is a great opportunity to teach your children about our nation’s military, and it can even be a fitting moment to
learn more about local military connections. If you feel like giving back more directly, consider using this opportunity to spruce up your local park or memorial. Talk to your municipality before you get started to ensure the monuments are open. If you have to wait for memorials to re-open, start crafting your plans now so you can be prepared to honor our veterans at a later date. Volunteer Giving back to veterans through organizations that help families who have lost loved
ones can be a powerful way to spend your Memorial Day. Do you have specialized skills or knowledge in health care, construction, or art? If so, check with your local Veterans Affairs office to see if you can partner with an organization to provide resources to those in need —whether in-person or through donations. If you can’t give up your time, try donating food, clothing, and supplies to veterans or those serving today. Find more information about Memorial Day at VA.gov. Thank you to those who served and to the families of those who were lost in the line of duty.
