Memorial Day, in May, remembers people in the military who died serving our country.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

Memorial Day is the last Monday in May.
On Memorial Day, we remember the people who died while serving our country in the military.
People place flags and flowers on their graves, and many towns have parades.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day are different. Memorial Day, in May, remembers people who died serving. Veterans Day, in November, thanks everyone who has served.
Try it with a grown-up! Find out if your town has a Memorial Day parade or a moment of quiet.
