May 2015: Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day

Armed Forces Day is 16 May, a day set aside to honor all those who are presently serving our nation.

Memorial Day is 25 May, a day set aside to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, buried home and abroad from the Revolutionary War to present.

PLEASE, do not insult a veteran (making him/her uncomfortable or angry) and wish him a "Happy Memorial Day".

Memorial Day: Monday 26th 2014

The media and community organizers, once again, do not know the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. The latter is for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, unlike Veterans Day for living veterans who sacrificed their limbs and suffered other wounds not always visible in service of the US Armed Forces.
