Memorial Day is fast approaching but what IS Memorial Day exactly? Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2024 will occur on Monday, May 27. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. That is the "official" definition. To me Memorial Day is my great grandfather, my grandfather, my aunts and Uncles, my cousins, my neighbors across the street, my college buddies, my coworkers, and my friends. They all served. They all did something I wasn't prepared to do. They all had various reasons for doing so and those reason aren't important. They literally signed up to put themselves in harm's way with the clear understanding that they may have to lay down their lives in some far-off country. Why? Because at their very core they believed in what it is to be American. They knew that freedom, by any definition, is not a given and it certainly isn't free. So this weekend while you grill out or attend a concert or whatever, please if only for a moment remember what Memorial Day is really all about. Our Freedoms depend on it. #thankyou #memorialday #memorialdayweekend #usa #love #america #memorial #mdw #like #memories #military #veterans #summer #family #redwhiteandblue #remember #freedom #happymemorialday #neverforget #honor #army #friends #sale #marines #navy #airforce #america #remember

As Memorial Day comes around, it's good to remember what the day is really about. It’s not just the start of summer or a time for big sales. This is a day to honor the brave men and women who have died while serving in the U.S. military. Their sacrifices are why we get to enjoy so many freedoms every day. So, how can we keep the spirit of Memorial Day alive in our everyday lives? It can be as simple as taking a quiet moment to think about those who gave their lives, doing something to help someone in need, or just saying thanks to someone who’s served. These little things mean a lot and help us keep their memories alive. Memorial Day also encourages us to be like those we're remembering—selfless and brave. We can do that by helping out in our community, standing up for what's right or making a move for our future that we were afraid to do. By living out these values, we honor their legacy and make a positive difference just like they did.  Have a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day! #MemorialDay2024 #HonorAndRemember #CourageAndResilience #CommunityStrength #NeverForget #TheWorldChangers #ChangeYourFinancesChangeYourWorld #YouChangeTheWorldChanges

Last week, AmeriCorps NCCC and United States Department of Defense signed a Memorandum of Agreement to coordinate requests from AmeriCorps NCCC for logistical support from the DoD and to increase the number of service projects led by NCCC teams on military installations. AmeriCorps NCCC is a full-time, team-based service program with housing, transportation, and costs of program participation made available to participants. The mission of AmeriCorps NCCC is to strengthen communities and develop leaders through direct, team-based national and community service. Through this agreement, the Department of Defense will also provide information about service opportunities with NCCC who don’t meet military entrance requirements. Hear more from Deputy Under Secretary Shawn Skelly and AmeriCorps CEO Michael D. Smith. #NationalService #Volunteerism
