7 Ways to Safely Celebrate Memorial Day at Home As the United States continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Memorial Day will look different than it has in previous years.
Typical activities such as large gatherings and barbecues will likely not happen as social distancing rules still remain in effect.
Here are seven ways for you and your family to safely celebrate Memorial Day at home.
1.
Get some chalk and take to your driveway or a nearby walkway to create some patriotic-themed art.
2.
Even though you can’t have your usual gathering, take the time to decorate your home with red, white and blue.
3.
Hang an American flag outside of your home as a public tribute to the men and women who died while serving.
