Celebrities on Twitter took time out to honor those who have served for the United States, this Memorial Day Monday.
Despite being a sacred day off to spend in the sun with family and friends, Memorial Day is a national holiday for remembering the women and men who died while serving in the country’s armed forces, as well as veterans.
Stars like John Stamos and Heidi Montag tweeted in remembrance of family members who passed away fighting for our country.
My Uncle Don and Ralph and many other men and woman DIED for our country. These fallen heroes represent the character of our nation. THANK U
