Today is Memorial Day. This U.S. federal holiday is observed on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who have died while serving in the military, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle.
In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Consider how we can support and safeguard grieving families and loved ones who are left behind, as well as reflect on why we have the freedom that we enjoy today.
