Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend! Lots of people will be going to the beach or having cookouts this three day weekend. Memorial day itself is Monday the 25th of May.
We will be closed Monday for the holiday weekend. We want to take the time to remember and honor all our fallen soldiers and military personnel. We deeply appreciate their sacrifices and salute them all.
Many people get confused or mix up the differences between Armed Forces day, Memorial day and Veterans day. So let me explain what each one stands for and what you celebrate for each one.
Armed Forces Day
The purpose of Armed Forces Day is to honor all of our currently serving active duty military soldiers and personnel. That was celebrated Saturday May 16th 2026 this year. Thank you for your current service!
Memorial Day
For Memorial Day we remember and honor all of our military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces, which is every branch of the military. Mostly in combat but everyone who was serving. We thank them all for their ultimate sacrifice. That is May 25th this year.
Veterans Day
Veterans day is Wednesday November 11th 2026 this year. On Veterans day we honor and celebrate ALL United States military personnel who have served in the armed forces. We deeply appreciate your service and sacrifices for our country.
Conway Village Barber Shop has many customers who are first responders, Veterans and military personnel. We have a wall in our shop that acts like a memorial wall tribute for them. It has pictures and signs of police, fire department and military branches.
Hanging up around them are first responder and military hats from different branches that have been donated by our customers. We love and thank all our military, Veteran and first responder customers and friends! 🙂
All of us here at Conway Village Barber Shop hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. We honor and remember all of our fallen soldiers and military personnel for their patriotic services and sacrifices.
