Commemoration etiquette is simple: lower your voice, widen your attention, and remember whose memory is centered.
Core guidelines
- Keep phone sounds off
- Avoid performative photos
- Give veterans and families space
| Situation | Respectful response |
|---|---|
| Ceremony in progress | Pause movement and observe quietly |
| Crowded viewpoints | Rotate quickly and avoid blocking |
| Personal tributes | Do not interrupt or restage |
The aim is not to look respectful; the aim is to be respectful.
