Interesting Trivia About Memorial Day:

Memorial Day is always the last Monday in May.

Memorial Day pays tribute to those who have died during military service.  It is sometimes confused with honoring those who have served in the military.  That is actually Veterans Day.

At 3 pm on Memorial Day, there is a moment of silence across the country.

Some other ideas:

  • Stop at a local nursing home or veteran facility and have kids play a game with some of the war veterans.  A quick conversation while playing Checkers or Bingo could really brighten a day for an honorable someone.
  • Have kids record a video recording thanking the troops for our freedoms.  Upload it and email to an overseas unit.
  • Go on a mini-field trip in your hometown.  Look for things to take photos of that describe the following vocab words:  honor, memorial, Old Glory, freedom, patriotic
