Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
“As the Veterans chairperson for the Central Brevard NAACP, I am very honored to have participated in such a meaningful and necessary event with other members of the chapter.
