Celebrate Memorial Day at Fort Sam Houston
Every Memorial Day the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery holds a ceremony honoring the members of our military who have sacrificed their lives for the good for of the country. Each year, Texans come from all over the state to pay visits to the graves of the fallen and reflect on their lives. This tradition includes a 21-gun salute and moments of silence. Flags placed in the cemetery by the Boy Scouts will blow in the wind, and active duty soldiers will pose in uniform. The scene is a peaceful and powerful one and we recommend everyone take a moment to participate.
The sight of the soldiers in their military uniforms can really strike a strong feeling in everyone. Military uniforms give soldiers a strong sense of pride and draw respect civilians because of the meaning behind them. Military uniforms are a symbol of strength, dedication, respect and sacrifice. We at Service Uniform hold great respect for the military uniform and the soldiers who wear them, and those who have died wearing them.
This Memorial Day, before you start barbequing and playing outdoor games, take a moment to honor the fallen men and women who have fought for us. If you can’t make it to Fort Sam Houston for the ceremony, then spend time with your family reflecting on the sacrifices made.
