This Memorial Day, one nonprofit organization is asking people across the U.S. to honor our country’s fallen military personnel in a uniquely special way.

“On Memorial Day, May 25, the American Legion is encouraging communities to pay tribute to our nation's fallen heroes at dusk by lighting candles of honor and placing them on front porches,” the group’s press release states.

The American Legion is an organization of U.S. war veterans headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Legion’s press release goes on to say, “Color options for consideration could include: a red candle to remember the blood shed in battle for the protection of our freedoms; a white candle to keep the nation's POWs/MIAs in our thoughts and prayers; or a blue candle to salute the memories of those who made it home but are no longer with us.”
