Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle making the ultimate sacrifice for their country. You’ll find that some veterans find it dismaying when they are thanked on this day and most realize the person has good intentions but are confused about the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Memorial Day remembers those who died in combat while Veterans Day honors all who have served in our military. We might consider how we can support and safeguard their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind, as well as being thankful for those who allow us to have the freedom we enjoy today.
