Seahawks use Twitter to remember fallen soldiers on Memorial Day

Memorial Day often marks the beginning of the warm weather season, summers filled with barbecues, beverages, friends, and baseball on the TV.

This year is a little different, as the COVID-19 crisis has made the holiday feel a lot more like a regular day, thanks to social distancing practices that have kept the majority of Americans at home, many without jobs.

However, it is still a day to celebrate those who have lost their lives while serving our country, and while that may not happen over a barbecue with the neighbors, remembrance can still be had over social media.

The Seattle Seahawks took to Twitter to celebrate our fallen soldiers, and a handful of current and former players followed suit as well.

For those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we thank you. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/z1ElzhN0kU

The Seahawks will continue to hunker down, with a handful of NFL teams set to re-open their practice facilities in the month of June.

The Seahawks are not set to begin training camp until the end of July, and it is still unclear if that will happen at the practice facility or not.
