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.

                Our heroes aren't just superman or any other super hero, it is the real ones! They were the ones that actually took action, and even knew that they were going to die, but did it for the people and their land. Now that is a real hero! If you have a parent, sister or brother, or ANYONE that has served, please thank them. They deserve so much more. But what I really want to know is if any of y'all have an elderly (grandma or grandpa, or great grandma or great grandpa, or any elderly u know) that has fought in a war. Now that would be cool! I hope that you guys are staying safe, and that you have a great memorial day!
