DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN MEMORIAL DAY AND VETERANS DAY
05/24/2015
Names for Memorial Day
Memorial Day, which is observed on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of the United States of America. In observance of the holiday, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.
If you submitted a name of your loved one and he or she died while serving in the U.S. Military, that person will be listed on the Memorial Day roster.
We will be requesting names for Veterans Day around the end of October. The parish will honor our veterans on Sunday, November 8th, 2015. If you have a loved one who served but died after retirement or discharge from active duty, that person will also be remembered at this time.
While those who have died (in or out of active duty) are also remembered, Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the U.S. Military - in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done their duty.
