Az Egyesült Államokban szájmaszkokban ugyan, de sok helyütt ünnepeltek az amerikaiak a háborús hősök emléknapján hétfőn.
Szövetségi ünnep és munkaszüneti nap volt az Emlékezet Napja hétfőn, amikor a háborúkban életüket áldozó, valamennyi amerikai előtt tisztelegtek az amerikaiak. Donald Trump elnök és Mike Pence alelnök a Washingtonnal szemben, a Potomac folyó másik oldalán tallható arlingtoni nemzeti sírkertben koszorúzta meg az Ismeretlen katona emlékművét. Több mint két hónap után elhagyta lakását Joe Biden, a demokraták várható elnökjelöltje is, aki Delaware állam egyik katonai emlékművénél helyezett el koszorút.
Sok amerikai városban emlékeztek koszorúzással az elesett vagy eltűnt katonákra. A szokásos zászlós-táncos felvonulások azonban az idén a koronavírus-járvány miatt elmaradtak, a hivatalos rendezvényeket sok helyütt törölték, és jóval kevesebben látogattak el például a vietnami háborúban elesett amerikai katonák tiszteletére emelt washingtoni emlékműhöz vagy az amerikai polgárháború (1861-1865) egyik döntő csatájának emlékparkjába, a pennsylvaniai Gettysburgbe, mint az elmúlt években. Csaknem mindenütt szájmaszkot viseltek a látogatók. Chicagótól Bostonon át Atlantáig azonban a katonai temetőkben apró amerikai zászlók tízezreit helyezték el a megemlékezők.
Ezzel együtt is több városban tartottak ünnepségeket. Minneapolisban például skót dudások sorakoztak fel a veteránok otthonánál és köszöntötték őket. A georgiai Woodstock városában interneten tartottak megemlékezést, és Chicagóban egy több mint fél évszázadon keresztül emlékezet napi felvonulást rendező csoport szintén az interneten elevenítette fel a korábbi évek felvonulásainak képeit.

Yesterday, 45 common dolphins stranded in Wellfleet, MA—one of the largest mass strandings on Cape Cod in 20 yrs. Though the majority of the dolphins were refloated when the tide came in, many were in compromised condition due to the heat, sun exposure & stranding-induced trauma. pic.twitter.com/8naaO58QMD

Jesus loved us so much, that he died for us. He took our place and all the punishment we deserved. By his wounds we are healed!! Today we remember and honor the death of our savior Jesus Christ!
It pains me to say this, but if you fear for your life or physical safety take off your kippah and hide your magen david. (Obviously, if you can, ask your rabbi first.) https://t.co/Dca2hpfY2s@shirahanau@BenjaminSales
