short:
Memorial Day is always officially designated as the last Monday in May. This year, Memorial Day is on Monday, May 29. On this day and the days leading up to it, Americans from across the country will gather at cemeteries and memorials to honor and remember the service members who gave the last full measure of devotion.

VA is hosting Memorial Day ceremonies at VA National Cemeteries and invites everyone to join with Veterans and their families at these events, which will take place over Memorial Day weekend. The laying of flags and poppies and the moments of silence broken by the sounding of Taps will ensure that the sacrifices of these heroes are never forgotten. A full listing of more than 200 free ceremonies and other community Memorial Day events can be found below.

Additionally, 38 VA national cemeteries are featured at stops along the 20,000-mile relay march organized by Carry The Load.

Those who can’t attend events in person may also honor a fallen service member by leaving a tribute on the Veterans Legacy Memorial site. There you can view Veterans’ stories, decorations and internment locations for each of the 4.5 million Veterans interred at VA national cemeteries, VA grant-funded state, territorial or tribal Veterans’ cemeteries, and certain National Park Service national cemeteries.

Also, check out this listing of year-round Veterans’ discounts with special Memorial Day discounts available at Walgreens and the National WWI Museum and Memorial.
