Memorial Day

Technically, Memorial Day (May 31, 2021)is for those who never made it out of their uniform. Veterans’s Day (November 11, 2021)is for those who hung up their uniform. Armed Forces Day (May 15, 2021) is for those still in their uniform. Memorial Day is a bank holiday and many people do not need to work. We use Memorial Day though to thank ALL those who served in the military! In our family that includes Joseph Raczkiewicz (my great uncle), John Dykstra (my uncle) and Roy Longwell (my father.)
