On Memorial Day and the days leading up to it, Americans will gather at cemeteries and memorials to honor and remember the service members who sacrificed everything in defense of the nation and its freedoms.
VA is hosting ceremonies in honor of Memorial Day at VA National Cemeteries. The National Cemetery Administration is also joining forces with non-profits Carry The Load, Travis Manion Foundation and Victory for Veterans to pay homage to veterans interred in VA National Cemeteries through a series of events,
A full listing of free events at ceremonies and other community Memorial Day events can be found below.
Those who can’t attend events in person may also honor a fallen service member by leaving a tribute on the Veterans Legacy Memorial website. There, you can view veterans’ stories, decorations and internment locations for millions who have been interred at VA national cemeteries, VA grant-funded state, territorial or tribal veterans’ cemeteries, and certain National Park Service national cemeteries.
