“Memorial Day is not just a date on a calendar. It’s a sacred pause.”

Memorial Day is a special day to honor our nation’s fallen in solemn remembrance and pay tribute to those buried or memorialized at our 26 cemeteries and 31 memorials around the world.

Today, we pause and pay honor to those who laid down their lives to ensure our collective freedom from tyranny and to preserve American liberties and way of life.

Each and every day, ABMC staff throughout the world honor America’s fallen service members overseas and continue to share the stories of service and sacrifice of those we honor and memorialize.

Memorial Day is a day when we join with our partners to collectively remember.
