7 Ways to Safely Celebrate
Memorial Day at Home As the United States continues to deal with the
COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day will
look different than it has in previous years. Typical activities such as large gatherings
and barbecues will likely not happen as social
distancing rules still remain in effect. Here are seven ways for you and your family
to safely celebrate Memorial Day at home. 1. Get some chalk and take to your driveway or a
nearby walkway to create some patriotic-themed art. 2. Even though you can’t have your
usual gathering, take the time to decorate
your home with red, white and blue. 3. Hang an American flag outside of your
home as a public tribute to the men and
women who died while serving. 4. Give recognition to fallen veterans by donating to
an organization that puts flowers on their graves. 5. If you know someone who served or you
want to make a general thank you statement,
post a tribute to your social media accounts. 6. Watch the yearly National Memorial Day
Concert, which will be streaming at 8 p.m. on PBS. 7. Listen to service members, veterans and
their families tell stories of their experiences
through the Military Voices Initiative.
