Celebrate Memorial Day the Right Way

Memorial Day is an interesting holiday. While it marks the start of summer and is a holiday for many people, most don't really understand why we have the day off. Memorial Day typically gets confused with Veteran's Day and Armed Forces Day. 

Armed Forces Day recognizes the current men and women who serve our country in all of the military branches. 

Veteran’s Day recognizes the men and women who served our country, but are no longer in the military. 

Memorial Day recognizes the fallen soldiers who didn't make it home. 

While it is a great time to enjoy a long weekend with family and friends, make sure to take a moment to remember those who made the sacrifice for us.
