Raise a Toast to the Troops

Melissa Klein
Celebrations Editor

Many people commemorate Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries, memorials and parades in honor of America's fallen soldiers. At 3 PM EST the entire nation also comes together in a moment of silence to remember the soldiers.

Before you begin your celebration this Memorial Day honor our troops by raising a glass with your guests to toast their dedication to our country along with their health, protection and safe return soon.

If you want to dress your drinks in patriotic colors we have a few cocktails that'll do the trick. Check them out on our 4th of July drinks page.

Be sure to have beers, water, soda and some wine for guests who may not be interested in a colorful concoction.
