“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States
Every Memorial Day, which falls on May 31st this year, it is customary to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice throughout this country’s history. The United States federal holiday has been officially recognized since 1971 as an act of Congress was passed deeming the annual observance the last Monday in May. Memorial Day aims at commemorating all the men and women who died while in the military acting in service to their country, especially those who passed in battle or as a result of an injury in battle. We as a country should spend this day reflecting on the lives given as a result of our personal freedoms that we enjoy every day without thinking twice about it. Supporting loved ones in times of such loss should also be something we consider doing on this day.
Here at SilverTowne, we have made it a priority to show full support and respect to military services and to all those who serve or have served this great nation. This Memorial Day, we bring special attention to some pieces in our Patriotic themed silver bullion collection aimed at showing support with something truly unique like silver.

It also depicts a silhouette of a geared American soldier and a dog tag that says “BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE” boldly across the front.
