Katy Perry’s Inspiring Memorial Day Message

Katy Perry’s Instagram post was a perfect reminder of what Memorial Day is really about! 

Katy Perry refreshed our Instagram news feeds this weekend with a thoughtful and inspiring message: “Memorial Day is always a powerful reminder to put aside our small daily concerns and petty grievances, and allow ourselves to be humbled by the magnitude of the sacrifices made for us by our Veterans and their families.”

She continued with “I am continually grateful to all our men and women in service now, and the job they do— day in and day out, often far from home and loved ones— protecting our freedom. I bow my had and my heart, and I thank them.”

We should all try to follow Katy’s words and set our intentions not just for Memorial Day, but the entire summer, to be appreciative and honor our veterans and currently deployed soldiers for our incredible opportunity to have the things we have and often take for granted.

Katy then shares that the Wounded Warrior Project’s motto: “the greatest casualty is being forgotten” and encourages us all to make any contribution we can whether it be monetary, our time, or simply spreading the word to numerous organizations that provide a multitude of services for our veterans and their families. Be sure to follow and look into these accounts: @wwp, @the_22_project, and @sofwarriorfnd

Thank you Katy for a refreshing post on all our news feeds to remind us to focus on what’s important this Memorial Day!
