How Memorial Day and Veterans Day differ from each other
Memorial Day and Veterans Day
each honor the military, though
the two holidays are not the same.
Memorial Day, which is celebrated
annually on the last Monday in
May, honors the brave men and
women who lost their lives while
serving in the American military.

ceremonies honoring their
fallen soldiers on Memorial Day,

Day weekend as the unoffi -

lost their lives in defense of freedom
and the American way of life.
Veterans Day is celebrated annually
on November 11 and recognizes
all men and women who
have served in the military. Veterans
Day coincides with Remembrance
Day, which is a celebrated
by the Commonwealth of Nations,
an association of 53 member
states with connections to the
British Empire. Though Veterans
Day and Remembrance Day are
each celebrated on November 11,
the latter recognizes armed forces
members who died in the line of
duty, making it more similar to Memorial
