This Memorial Day, let's honor the true impact of the men and women who gave their final sacrifice for our nation.

Wear a poppy
Pinning a red poppy on your shirt or lapel is a time-honored tradition to show remembrance on Memorial Day.

Fly the Stars and Stripes
Fly the flag at half-staff from sunrise until noon to honor the fallen, then raise it to full-staff until sunset to pay tribute to surviving veterans and current service members.

Observe the National Moment of Remembrance
At 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, spend one minute to reflect on and remember those who lost their lives in the line of service.

Visit a memorial
Honor the ultimate sacrifice our nation's heroes have made by visiting one of our national memorials or cemeteries.

The poppy wall is a tribute to the more than 600,000 U.S. service members lost in the line of duty since World War I.
