Memorial Day first became an official holiday in 1971. Many people honor this day and those that served by visiting cemeteries, attending a parade or holding family gatherings. So, is it OK to say Happy Memorial Day?
Yes, of course, you can… especially if it comes from a place of gratitude for the life we live today that was provided by the sacrifices of the generations before. On this Memorial Day, take time to reflect on the men and women who sacrificed for our country.
