Memorial Day Video Honors Enfield Veterans Killed in Action

Enfield members of the military who died while serving their country are memorialized in this video tribute.

ENFIELD, CT - Memorial Day is about much more than backyard barbecues and a day off from work.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.
