Georgia Bulldogs Post Reminds Bulldog Fans the Significance of the Memorial Day Holiday

The Georgia Bulldogs' social media team has reminded everyone of the importance of the Memorial Day holiday with a moving post.

For many Americans, Memorial Day serves as a long weekend or a break from the stresses of everyday life. But while the extra break from responsibilities is certainly nice, it is not what today’s holiday is rooted in.

Celebrated on the last Monday of May, Memorial Day serves as a day to honor those in the armed forces who have given their lives fighting for the United States. The holiday was first observed in the late 1800s to honor those who had perished during the Civil War.

The Georgia Bulldogs’ social media team posted an extremely moving post that served as a key reminder of why we all get to enjoy the day off.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. 🇺🇸#MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/KZ0QYZj5vd
