I always take a little time to pause, reflect on, and feel gratitude for those who have served to protect and grow our still very imperfect country, and then try to set personal intentions for ways I can contribute to a more just society.
Dr. Colleen Christmas, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Grateful for and in awe of those who serve. I'll be thinking of my parents on Memorial Day. I lost them both this past year. Dad served in Hawaii and Mom moved there from Brooklyn for a year.
Dr. Eric Last
I'll be remembering the courageous people who sacrificed so much for our country.
Dr. Howard Liu
I plan to visit Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. to reflect and pay respects to fallen soldiers, colleagues, and friends who have been laid to rest there.
Dr. Richard Schaefer, Johns Hopkins Medicine
I hope to spend it full of gratitude, the laughter of family and friends, and a long deep breath to truly rest and relax.
Dr. Richard Wardrop, Cleveland Clinic
I'm an Australian interloper and have never commemorated Memorial Day before. I think I'll sit in the sunshine and reflect on my time in the U.S. while I people watch around the Baltimore harbor.
Dr. Rachel Coghlan, Bloomberg School of Public Health
Spending some time reflecting and being with family.
Dr. Jeff Millstein, Penn Medicine
Climbing and hiking in Colorado. So grateful for those who have sacrificed to save our wild lands.

Working in the peds ICU.
