While many are off work today due to the Memorial Day holiday, it is a perfect time to reflect on the history of how this day came to be.
The U.S. recognizes Armed Forces' Day, Veterans' Day, and Memorial Day.
Armed Forces' Day is for those service members who are currently wearing the uniform.
Veterans' Day honors those who have hung up their uniform.
Memorial Day is for those who didn't get the chance to take off their uniform.
