Happy Memorial Day, friends!
Many may use today to barbeque by the pool or gather with friends at the beach, but let's not forget that the true celebration of today's holiday is to honor the men and women who died while serving in the country's armed forces.
Justin Timberlake, Eva Longoria, Channing Tatum and a number of other celebs took to Twitter to remember America's fallen soldiers today, and for some that even included some family members.
So take a look at what some of Hollywood's biggest stars had to say...
Today we remember our heroes in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our great nation. Thanks to them we can live freely.

It's Memorial Day! Today is considered the unofficial start of summer. The official one is when I get my season pass to Hurricane Harbor.

Take a moment today to think about all those that have given their lives in the name of our liberty & freedom. Humbling.
