Memorial Day signifies the “unofficial start to summer,” but it is about so much more than barbecues, pool parties, and road trips. This Memorial Day, honor the military members who made the ultimate sacrifice with these three ideas. Attend or volunteer for a ceremony. Many American Legions and veterans groups across the U.S. will host Memorial Day services designed to honor local heroes killed and missing in action. Make these events a priority to attend as a small- business leader in your community, or offer to volunteer or donate pieces to the ceremony. For instance, if your community has a wreath- laying service, volunteer to donate the supplies or ask your team to help. Showing up is more impactful than you may think. Support a military family or service member. Is there a local military family in need of extra support this year? Do you know of a local hero who is deserving of recognition? Then take action! You could ask your customers to nominate deserving families or veterans and choose a few applicants to support. You could pay for a family trip to a local amusement park or provide volunteers for home repairs. You could also talk to your local veterans groups to identify local needs. Maybe veterans in the area are in need of fundraiser support or accessibility accommodations. Now is the time to get involved! Pen your thanks.

If money and time are not something you can give away, consider the simple act of saying, “Thank you.” Write notes to your clients who have served, thanking them and their loved ones for their service. Write letters to families of those who have died in active duty, or write a social media message expressing your thanks. The simple act of recognizing this day can create powerful ripples in your community. Founded by a veteran and employing veterans, CHB continually honors and remembers those who have served our country and those who lost their lives doing so. Thank you to all who have served, and may we always remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
