## Caption

Veterans hold onto the Stars and Stripes during Memorial Day ceremonies at the Arlington National Ceremony in 1941.
A day to remember those Americans who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces, the federal holiday also honours those men and women still on active duty - all the more poignant in this image, with the nation just months away from entering WWII.
