Share Your Tribute this Memorial Day

[Briana Hartzell USAA]

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of our fallen military heroes. We ask all Americans to join us in paying tribute to these men and women through a variety of ways:

Visit

Visit the USAA Poppy Wall of Honor on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., or visit the Poppy Exhibits at the USS Midway Museum in San Diego or at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus, Ohio.

Write a Tribute

Write a tribute to a friend or loved one who died in military service, post it on social using #PoppyInMemory and encourage others to continue the conversation in their social channels using #PoppyInMemory.

Create

Make a paper poppy with your children to teach them the meaning of Memorial Day and that the flower represents individuals who gave their lives for us in military service. You can download templates and instructions here.

- On Snapchat, use the augmented reality lens to view the USAA Poppy Wall of Honor virtually and dedicate a poppy to a fallen service member.

Support

- Support or volunteer with nonprofits such as wear blue: run to remember or Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS)  that support the families of our fallen service members.
