Please take a moment today to remember the fallen, because they are the reason we get to celebrate Memorial Day in freedom.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember those who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. It’s more than a long weekend; it’s a solemn moment to reflect on the sacrifices made through service.
From Valley Forge National Historical Park to Gettysburg National Military Park to Pearl Harbor National Memorial and many more, the National Park Service preserves monuments, memorials, and battlefields that commemorate military service and tell the stories of those who served throughout our nation’s history. Among these are 14 national cemeteries, including some of the oldest in the country, serving as the final resting places for members of the United States Armed Forces.
