While spending time with your family and loved ones this holiday weekend, I hope you will join me in commemorating our country's service members, both from Maryland and from across the country. Following the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, government leaders established an annual Decoration Day to commemorate the fallen Union and Confederate soldiers. In the years since, Decoration Day expanded to honor all fallen soldiers from every theater of war and became known as Memorial Day. As we carry on this sacred tradition, the links below are just some examples of the different ways you can honor our troops this Memorial Day: This weekend, communities across the country will celebrate Memorial Day with services at the grave sites of fallen service members. The National Cemetery Administration has compiled a list of cemeteries holding services on Memorial Day. Click here to find a memorial ceremony near you. Memorial Day provides us with an opportunity to say thank you to the thousands of men and women enlisted in our armed forces.

We join together as a grateful nation to thank all those who are currently serving and who have served for their bravery and dedication. Hope to see you there.
