The whole month of May is designated
“National Military Appreciation Month”.
As you look forward to time off work, spending time with family and barbecue cookouts, please take a moment to remember our fallen, this Memorial Day weekend.
MEMORIAL DAY
-When:
Always the last Monday in May
-What it celebrates:
Unlike Armed Forces Day (for current troops) or Veterans Day (in November, for living former service members), Memorial Day is a solemn federal holiday specifically dedicated to honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.
A Quick Tip on the Big Three:
If you ever get confused about who to thank when, remember this common military adage:
* Armed Forces Day is for those who currently wear the uniform.
* Veterans Day (in November) is for those who used to wear the uniform.
* Memorial Day is for those who died wearing the uniform.
Be safe, and may we never forget the cost of freedom, and the ones who gave all to preserve it.
Sincerely,
The Butterfield Team/Family
