As Memorial Day approaches, many Americans pause to honor the nation’s military heroes — but it’s important to understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Memorial Day, observed each May, is dedicated to remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is a solemn day of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country.

Veterans Day, observed each November, honors all military veterans who have served in the Armed Forces, whether during wartime or peacetime.

Veterans organizations often remind the public that while veterans appreciate support and gratitude, Memorial Day is specifically meant to honor fallen service members and reflect on their sacrifice.
