Memorial Day is celebrated annually on the last Monday of May (Credit: .publicdomainpictures.net/CC0)

Memorial Day celebrations usually involve parades, flag ceremonies, and other formal public recognitions to honor the brave men and women of the American Armed Forces who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. This includes those in the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. However, the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing requirement is causing American cities and towns to cancel the beloved traditions and find new ways to honor their fallen heroes. Here are a few innovative festivities planned for the holiday, which will be observed on May 25, 2020.

    Both my Great Grandfathers were in the army and in world war 2. On Memorial day we put flowers on their graves and we also put flowers 💐 on my aunt Keli's grave who died when she was 2 years old because of cancer 😔. I hope you all are staying safe!

                If you're reading this please take a moment of remembrance and just be silent while remembering fallen soldiers. Thank you! That means a lot to veterans.

                        I was still inside, when @zeldarules was outside of the house watching at night... The whole house rumbled because it was so close to the house!

                        My dad is in this army, he went in three wars!!!😱 I'm glad he is okay, but he did not go in the huge wars like world war two or anything like that.

                            Yeah, our dad did, but they weren't big wars... I can't imagine being in a war at an age so young... He had to be gone for a year once, and when he came back, I didn't recognize him!
