With Memorial Day 2024 this Monday, the Alliance joins with the Union Veterans Council in marking the solemn occasion. Memorial Day began in the years following the U.S. Civil War
and is set aside to remember Americans who were killed in action.

"Please enjoy a cookout or spend time with your loved ones, and also take a moment to think about those who no longer have such opportunities, and their families," said Robert Roach, Jr., President of the Alliance.

If you are commemorating the occasion with a barbecue, please be sure to check out the AFL-CIO’s list of Union-Made in America foods at AFLCIO.org/Barbecue
