The Memorial Day Foundation was founded to increase awareness and respect for Memorial Day because it’s almost become a forgotten holiday in America. Many Americans think that Memorial Day is the beginning of the summer season because of beach and pool openings on Memorial Day weekend. It is not the opening of summer season. It is a "National Day of Mourning" in respect for and remembrance of those who gave their lives in defense of our freedom and liberty. To restore the "Memorial" in Memorial Day we are encouraging the wearing of a Memorial Day button that we have designed as a visible symbol of remembrance. The button should be worn on the left side of your body close to your heart, in the tradition of heartfelt sympathy, for all to see for the entire month of May. The button should not be worn for any other occasion and should be put in a safe place to be worn next Memorial Day and every Memorial Day.
