Celebrate Memorial Day

Honoring Memorial Day with Your Children

Memorial Day is right around the corner! Here are some ways that you can honor our military heroes--those who lost their lives, have served, and are currently serving-- with your children:

1)      Send a care package or write a thank you letter to a soldier

2)      Go to a public gathering and make sure to thank a veteran or servicemember while you're there

3)      Wear red, white, and blue to show patriotism

4)      Visit your local memorial cemetary:  http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/listcem.asp

5)     Participate in the National Moment of Silence at 3pm
