Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971. Here is a look at how Americans have celebrated through the years while also honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Yesterday was just the latest example where Somers Point, New Jersey demonstrated that they have their priorities in order stem it comes to honoring those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country.
To all those who've served, continue to serve, and who have lost their lives preserving this country's freedoms: your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
