Adam Sandler also shared a touching message on social media, thanking members of the military and their families for their sacrifice. “So many gave so much — we will never forget. Happy Memorial Day,” he wrote.

And it wasn’t just entertainers getting in on the action — politicians and TV personalities alike joined in. Senator J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Johnny Bananas, and Gene Simmons all posted messages or photos commemorating the holiday.
