Memorial Day: Let’s Honor Those Who Served us Valiantly

Memorial day is almost upon us, and what better way to honor those who have vigilantly stood for the red, white and blue than to partake in some of the activities that are happening this weekend? The planned events include both virtual and in person events, so even if you are not feeling comfortable attending a public gathering, there are ways you can participate.

The 2021 National Memorial Day Parade will premiere the weekend of Memorial Day – May 29-31 – nationwide on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW stations, and to our military personnel worldwide on American Forces Network. Further information can be found on the American Veteran’s Center webpage. 

If you would like to attend something a little bit louder, Rolling to Remember is amotorcycle rally that will be held on May 30th in Washington, DC to raise awareness to the critical issues our veterans face daily, as well as a tribute to those who are Missing in Action, and Prisoners of War. 

If music is more your style, the National Memorial Day concert will be held at 8:00 p.m. E.T. Not only will the concert feature celebrity performances, but it will also share stories that will help us to remember the lives of those who fought for our Country. Be sure to check your local listings to find which channel you can tune into. The concert will also be streamed online. 

Other events are planned throughout the weekend and  you can check out washington.org’s list if you are looking for other options. Be it a baseball game, a visit to the waterfront, or taking a trip to the Arlington Cemetery, there are so many activities to do, reasons to go outside and enjoy the weather, but also to remember the brave men and women who fought for the United States. 

We wish you all a safe, fun, and memorable Memorial day weekend!
