Did you know that smell is the sense most closely linked to memory?

The olfactory bulb connects directly to the brain's emotional center, which is why a specific perfume, the smell of fresh-cut grass, or your grandmother's cooking can instantly transport you back in time.

This is why many people find comfort in keeping a loved one's clothing, cologne, or even visiting places they frequented. These scents can trigger powerful, healing memories.

More than two million volunteers across the country will gather to lay wreaths on veterans' graves as a symbol of respect, remembrance, and gratitude.

The 2025 theme is "Keep Moving Forward"—inspired by the last words of Captain Joshua Byers, who gave his life serving in Iraq in 2003.

How you can participate:

Visit a local cemetery and honor a veteran's grave
Donate or sponsor a wreath at wreathsacrossamerica.org
Share a story about a veteran in your family
Teach younger generations about the sacrifice of our military members
Simply take a moment of silence at 12:00 PM local time

The first holiday season without someone you love can be quite difficult. The traditions feel incomplete. The gathering feels quieter.

It's okay to:

Feel sad even when others are celebrating
Skip traditions that hurt too much
Leave early if you need to
Cry when their favorite song plays
Create a new way to honor their memory

It's also okay to:

Laugh at a cherished memory
Feel joy and grief at the same time
Light a candle and talk to them

There's no right way to do this. Be gentle with yourself. Feel what you need to feel.

Wishing you peace, comfort, and gratitude this Thanksgiving.
