Tomorrow, May 27th, is Memorial Day, a federal holiday to remember fallen military service members. It’s an inherently somber occasion, and it can be hard to strike the right note of respect toward heroes who died while protecting our country and their loved ones left behind, while eating barbecue at a pool party. Enjoy your family gatherings – every American soldier wants you to celebrate with friends and family this weekend. But please consider taking a moment to appreciate and pay homage to the ultimate sacrifice so many have made to protect our freedoms.

Americans across the globe will stop at 3pm (local time) on Monday, May 27th to observe a national moment of silence to remember soldiers killed in war. All of us
