Memorial Day is a time for reflection and gratitude, a day to honor the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives for our country. At Connect Global Logistics LLC, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, we join the nation in paying tribute to these heroes. As a logistics company committed to supporting our community and nation, we recognize the importance of this solemn holiday and the values it represents.
Memorial Day, Decoration Day, was established after the Civil War to honor the fallen soldiers who fought for our nation. It became an official federal holiday in 1971 and is observed on the last Monday of May. This day is dedicated to remembering the military personnel who have died in the service of the United States, ensuring that their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Across the country, Americans participate in various traditions to commemorate this day. These include visiting cemeteries and memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. The National Moment of Remembrance observed at 3 p.m. local time, is a time for all Americans to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by our service members.
