Allow us all to collectively gasp at those who've forgotten the holiday is near. If you don’t know, Memorial Day is coming up at the end of the month, on Monday, May 30th; most of of spend that weekend before the holiday spending  

What Is Memorial Day? 

Memorial Day often gets confused with Labor Day. It’s a nationally celebrated holiday. It’s a day to remember those who lost their lives serving in the military.  

How Do We Celebrate? 

  1. Thank A Veteran – You should do this every time you run into a Veteran, but maybe go out of your way to do it on this particular day. A special thanks can really go a long way. 
  2. Visit A Monument or Memorial Site – We have a few right here in Bismarck. There’s one at our State Capitol Grounds, and you probably pass the Richard M. Longfellow Veterans Memorial every day.

3. Plan A Family BBQ – This is something most of us do. We spend some time gathering with friends and family. It’s a cookout and celebration of freedom.
