Military Holidays There are three distinct holidays for honoring military personnel and all three are different in who they honor. Some people get confused, so let’s review them and keep it simple: Armed Forces Day 3rd Saturday in May Honors all military personnel now serving Memorial Day Last Monday in May Honors all military personnel who died while serving this nation Veterans Day November 11th Honors those who have served in the Armed Forces Many Americans and businesses try to piggy-back other things onto these holidays. For example, on Memorial Day you’ll find people coming up to veterans and saying, “Thanks for your service.” Please remember, Memorial Day isn’t about anybody’s service. Veterans cringe when they hear this as most vets have lost somebody in combat or training and that phrase, although said innocently and sincerely, is cringeworthy to most vets. It’s not about a mattress sale. It’s not about honoring first responders. It’s not about the first day of summer. Or barbecue. It’s not about anything except honoring those men and women - and the families - who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation! That’s it. Don’t add anything else to it. Its simple, but it’s also a somber event and there’s nothing happy about it, so please refrain from saying “Happy Memorial Day.” All three of these events are just single days, not months. So let’s give them the undivided attention each day deserves and focus on what exactly the day is set aside for…spend time with your families and share the meaning of the day with the younger members. Explain what the day is all about. There are many ways to celebrate and/or honor these folks: Visit a military cemetery on Memorial Day, a veterans home on Veterans Day, or send a care package to deployed troops on Armed Forces Day. Our organization is amazing when it comes to honoring these holidays. From placing flags on graves to setting up Missing Man tables to remember the POW-MIA personnel, we enjoy wide support! Many companies just use these days as off-days. Please share these three days with your family and friends! National Cemetery Andersonville, GA

Thankgiving gatherings are a chance to elicit #veterans histories in addition to family history. I'm reminded of my great uncle Dean, who fought and served in the #worldwar2 battles of #iwojima and the raid on #makinisland. A typical #usmc veteran of that era, he didn't talk freely about his experiences. It was only after some of us who had served in the military, did he open up to us about his #veteranshistory. I suggest that if you are gathering with your family and close friends during this #thanksgiving, and there are #veterans among you, then use this time to elicit the stories of service. In particular, have your children (and maybe adults) put down their mobile devices and have a #veteranshistory conversation for your family history. Get them to tell the story repeatedly, so we never forget them. Here are some simple question prompts to ask them: - Did you serve in the military? What did you do? - Tell us a story about your memories of life in the military? - What prompted you to join? How old were you? - How do you see the world differently after having been in the military? - What would you tell the future generations about military service?
