Veterans Yoga Project will hold our Fifth Annual Memorial Day Light-A-Candle Campaign from the period of May 10 through June 5th.

Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We spend time remembering those who lost their lives and could not come home, reflecting on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider how we can support their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind.

The ritual of lighting a candle in remembrance to a life ‘passed’ has long been a part of our culture. Keeping a light burning in remembrance signifies that the memory still lives on and burns bright. It is a ritual that promotes reflection and signifies remembrance. A memorial candle can be a great way to celebrate the life of a lost loved one and bring comfort to family and loved ones, by enabling the ritual of remembrance to be perpetuated with a candle lit to ease the pain of loss.

We would like to ask you to help us spread the lighting of candles nationwide through social fundraising in our Light-A-Candle Campaign.
