Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance
for those who have died in the line of duty.
Here are some ways to celebrate the patriotic spirit of this day:
- Fly the American Flag at half-staff until noon. Also fly the POW/MIA Flag.
- Visit a gravesite and offer flowers to those U.S. Troops who have died in the nation's service.
- Educate your kids about Memorial Day's history and origin and the history of U.S. Military. Read to them stories with a patriotic message and encourage them to look up dictionaries and encyclopedias on the subject.
- Participate in Memorial Day parades and other such activities.
- Personalized Wind Chimes in memory of troops who have died.
- Wear your American spirit proudly. Badges, Pins, Shirts - make it a point to wear something that shows your patriotism.
- Plan a family reunion or Get Together. It may be as simple and informal as a backyard barbecue.
- Visit cemeteries and place flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes.
- Donate to families of soldiers who are wounded or have lost their lives.
- Make a beaded USA pin. Click here for the instructions.
