Written By Britt Patterson

Our Memorial Day will look a little different this year, and although we will miss being out with friends on the boat or at a backyard BBQ; quarantine presents an awesome time for us to reflect on what this holiday is really about – honoring the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Here are some great quarantine Memorial Day activities to remind us all why we celebrate this Monday. • Take a virtual Tour of the White House - click here  • Watch PBS’s Memorial Day concert - click here  • Take a moment of silence at 3PM for the National Moment of Remembrance  • Brush up on interesting Memorial Day facts - click here• Listen to Veterans stories on Military Voices, a platform for veterans, service members, and their families to share their stories  - click here
