Suggested Memorial Day Speech from DAV HQ
DAV is committed to ensuring that those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their
country are recognized and remembered every Memorial Day. To support your efforts in your local
communities this year, we have prepared resources and materials for your use.
DAV has drafted suggested remarks to help keep the memories of our fallen heroes alive. Please
feel free to adapt these to your personal voice and practice your delivery to ensure appropriate
homage during this solemn occasion. Also, please make every attempt to recognize individuals and
entities who may be involved in planning events in which you’re taking part.
