The coronavirus pandemic has changed Memorial Day plans for everyone, including celebs. Several still managed to make the long weekend special at home though, and several others recognized veterans.

Megan Fox announced previously that she was teaming up with Redline Steel to raise $2 million for veterans and their families on Memorial Day.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary. Kardashian wrote: “6 years down; forever to go / Until the end.”
Jennifer Garner re-elected on how the true meaning of the day had been brought full circle: “This Memorial Day, when sacrifice has been brought into such sharp focus, I am filled with gratitude for our Gold Star families, who represent heroism, who know loss, who live with courage. We are better for living in your country. Thank you.”
