Since our country’s founding, American soldiers have bravely fought for our freedom

 

And for every step of the way dogs have fought alongside them

Memorial Day, celebrated on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day in the years following the civil war.

It was established as a federal holiday in 1971, and has remained widely celebrated since then

It’s used as a day to honor veterans still with us, and remember those who have passed

 

So here’s to the servicemen and women who keep our country safe

And the dogs who are with them through it all

 

Canine or human, let’s take a minute to honor our nation’s heroes

 

And thank them for all they have done
