This Monday is Memorial Day, a national holiday where we recognize and remember those men and women that have died in military service for our country. While many of you have BBQs and other activities planned, why not create some patriotic Memorial Day crafts to show your pride and support for America? They are a great way to decorate for the occasion and will demonstrate your respect for the ultimate sacrifice these soldiers made.

On our Memorial Day page, you’ll find 8 Memorial Day crafts including 3 projects for kids. In addition, you’ll learn a little history of the holiday and some interesting trivia to impress family and friends. Did you know that the first Memorial Day was created by freed slaves to honor Union Solders? Read the entire inspiring story!

Don’t forget to observe the National Moment of Rememberance at 3pm on Monday with a moment of silence.
