25 Memorial Day 2015 Freebies, Discounts and Deals

As one of the most all-American and patriotic federal holidays, Memorial Day is a time to remember, honor and celebrate the lives of soldiers who have died fighting for the U.S. Armed Forces. According to USMemorialDay.org, 1.8 million American men and women have lost their lives in combat since 1775. From the simple act of laying a flag on a soldier’s grave site to attending a reenactment or remembrance service, making a special gesture this day to thank service members will keep their memories alive.

Memorial Day weekend also symbolizes much more, as it marks the beginning of summer with beaches, resorts and tourist destinations ahead. This three-day weekend is also a popular time to shop. Last year, Americans spent more than $50.7 billion during Memorial Day weekend, a $1.9 billion jump from 2013, according to Applied Predictive Technologies.
