Who's got plans for Memorial Weekend? 🇺🇸
Did you know: It was originally known as "Decoration Day," the tradition began in the years following the Civil War as devastated communities gathered in the spring to decorate fallen soldiers' graves with flowers and flags.
The first official, widespread national observance took place on May 30, 1868, proclaimed by Gen. John A. Logan. It was later established as a federal holiday in 1971.
From the American Civil War to today, Memorial Day has remained a day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
A lot of people will be traveling, grilling out, hitting the beach, or spending time with family - but it’s also a meaningful moment to pause and remember the service members who never made it home. 🇺🇸

Today, Military Family Support proudly honors the brave men and women currently serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Armed Forces Day is a time to recognize the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of our active duty service members who stand ready each day to protect our nation and defend our freedoms. Whether serving at home or around the world, their commitment does not go unnoticed. 

As military families, we understand the sacrifices made not only by those in uniform, but also by the loved ones who support them from home. Today, we pause to say thank you to every active duty service member for your service strength and unwavering devotion to our country. 

To all who serve, we proudly stand beside you with gratitude and support today and every day. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
