Memorial Day Wishes and Thanks


Recommended Posts

Thank you for the sentiment but we have a tendency to get the days confused. Memorial Day is for those that gave their life in the service of their country.  Veterans Day is for those that once served and Armed Forces Day is for those still serving.

I was just looking this up last night because I wanted to understand the differences.  I am reading some conflicting information: some sources suggest Memorial Day is reserved for those that died while serving, while others suggest it also includes those that have died even after retiring/separating.

It is only for those who died when serving.  Veterans Day is for all.
