Understanding the Difference Between Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day

Understanding the nuances of Memorial Day vs. Veterans Day might seem confusing at first – they do both honor the military community – but a quick Google search (or a quick four-minute read of this story) will show you that these two federal holidays couldn’t be more different.

........ BASICALLY... Memorial Day is for those who never made it out of their Uniform......Veterans Day is for those who made it home & hung up their Uniform....... Armed Forces Day is for those currently wearing their Uniform.

Memorial Day is not just about BBQs and the unofficial start of summer.

This EXCELLENT Video tells a story of what Memorial Day is REALLY all about.

WE HONOR Those who have died for ALL of US. We remember all the family members who have lost their loved ones so that we can enjoy the Freedoms we all enjoy.

We must also remember - "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"

I am tired of ads for Memorial Day mattress sales and buy 3 get the fourth one free. Celebrate this day for the reason it was intended, to honor those men and women who paid the supreme price for our freedom

May all the Heroes who made the Ultimate Sacrifice for our country Rest In Peace. One example on this date in 1945 the 1/5 US Marines occupied Shuri Castle on Okinawa. The US suffered over 20,000 KIA and DOW. Just one battle in the history of the United States.
