View Comments Memorial Day is Monday, May 31, and whether you are looking for a way to commemorate service members who died on active duty in a war or take advantage of the long holiday weekend, you have options. After the pandemic canceled most Memorial Day ceremonies last year, including at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona and Pioneer and Military Memorial Park, some venues have cautiously decided to reopen this year. While the former is only open to invited guests, the latter is welcoming the public while forgoing a ceremony. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those who are fully vaccinated can safely resume indoor and outdoor activities without face coverings, except as required by “federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.”
