Every year, on the last Monday in May, the U.S. honors fallen military service members for Memorial Day. The holiday, originally called Decoration Day, was formalized in 1868 by a Memorial Day Order issued by the Grand Army of the Republic's commander in chief, John A. Logan. For Memorial Day 2025, we asked readers to tell us about the service members they're remembering. We heard stories from all over the U.S., about parents, grandparents, mothers and more. Here are some of our readers' reflections.
