3 meaningful ways to commemorate Memorial Day

Try these simple ways to remember those who died during active military service and honor their loved ones:

• Plant a flag – Memorial Day is the perfect time to leave flags on the graves of local military men and women.

• Say thank you – Recognize people who lost a loved one actively serving in the military. A simple thank you, a card or a kind gesture goes a long way.

• Adopt a military family – Show you care about current military families or those who have lost someone by sending them cards, making a meal or inviting them to join you for holidays.
