WASHINGTON, D.C. - From concerts to somber ceremonies and a moment of silence, Americans from coast to coast will recall the sacrifices of military members who paid the ultimate price for freedom on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26.
“This is our nation’s day to remember its debt to those whose sacrifice in blood and battle secured a legacy of liberty for future generations,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake.
He reminded veterans to wear their military medals on Memorial Day, a practice called the Veterans Pride Initiative launched by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 2006.
The personal exhibition of service medals on patriotic holidays is one way for veterans to show their support of the U.S. military and particularly those serving in the Global War on Terror, and to inspire conversation about military heritage with young people.
Information for veterans about the wearing of medals and how to replace lost medals is available at http://www.va.gov/veteranspride/.
A tradition dating to the 19th Century after the Civil War and originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day is marked at VA facilities across the country, especially VA’s national cemeteries, whose commemorative events honor about 1 million American men and women who died in service during wartime periods, including more than 651,000 battle deaths.
