Please take some time today on Memorial Day to honor the men and women of the United States Military who died while serving our country as well as their families.
The Coronavirus Pandemic has changed Memorial Day remembrances this year with no outdoor gatherings or remembrance ceremonies. According to the Roosevelt Island FDR Four Freedoms Park:
We know that many Memorial Day ceremonies will not take place this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Veterans and their families are welcome to use the Park this Memorial Day as a quiet place to remember all the heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect our freedoms.
FDR Four Freedoms Park Conservancy Director Eduardo Jany adds:
Today we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. We are lucky to have so many heroes who fought on our behalf. We will never forget their bravery and dedication.#MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/yqiCBKu9oACity of New York (@nycgov) May 25, 2020
