Memorial Day is the perfect opportunity to get out and celebrate as a family.
You’ll find it’s a great way to learn about the specific war or wars that the monument is dedicated to honor, and you’ll be able to start a conversation with your kids about American history and the significance of military memorials.
If you have younger children, craft time is always a great way to bond as a family while also using the opportunity as a teachable moment.
It’s tradition to fly the flag at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, so you can also explain this tradition and what it means as you fly your own flag at home.
While Memorial Day is a time for remembering, and honoring our fallen soldiers, it’s also a wonderful time to thank those soldiers past and present who are right here in our midst today.
