How to celebrate Memorial Day
Here are some fun ideas that will help you have a successful Memorial Day:
Get in the spirit early in the day by attending your local Memorial Day Parade.
Parades are the best way to start any day. Your local newspaper should have the details of what time and where the parade starts. Check to see when your local parade is >>
If you’re having a cookout, plan the menu in advance and include staples like hot dogs, potato salad, and corn on the cob.
Nothing says happy summer than the first cookout of the season! Plan your menu out and buy all the ingredients a couple of days in advance so you don’t have to deal with the last minute shoppers.
Make things patriotic by buying American-themed decorations.
You can also make your own! Paint mason jars red, white, and blue and put American flags in them, or cut out big stars out of colored construction paper and hang them up.
If you’re having a cookout make sure you have a backup plan in case it rains.
Bring the party indoors, or buy some canopies to provide dry spots to your guests.
Pay your respects to those who have fallen by visiting a cemetery for veterans.
This day is all about honoring those who have fought for our country, and you can pay your respects by stopping by a cemetery and placing American flags by the fallen.
Help support the families of these heroes by visiting TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors). >>
