Today, the Texas VFW honors Memorial Day and encourages mindfulness, recognizing that this long weekend carries a significant national responsibility.
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance established in 1868 to honor fallen soldiers. For Veterans, this day carries profound significance, a reflection on the sacrifices of fallen comrades.

Veteran supporters can be mindful in observance of this day:
🔴Wear a Buddy Poppy as a symbol of remembrance and support.
⚪Take a moment at 3:00 PM to pause and honor those who have laid down their lives for our freedom.
🔵Remembering that Memorial Day differs from Veterans Day, the former honors those who have died in service, while the latter celebrates all who have served.

Let’s ensure we observe this day with the dignity and respect it deserves.
