U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs has launched a new way for the public to pay tributes to veterans at the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM). The site, originally launched in 2019, contains a memorial page for each veteran and service member interred in a VA national cemetery. 

Due to the cancellation of May events in NYC, and uncertainty around the public health situation, many of us will be looking for other ways to appropriately observe and honor Memorial Day this year.

The United War Veterans Council and NYC Department of Veterans’ Services (DVS) invite you to join in remembering America’s fallen through A Flag, a Flower, a Moment of Memorial.
