The Meaning of Memorial Day

This Monday, in Taylor Morrison communities across America, people will be observing the Memorial Day holiday. In addition to touring some of our model homes over the long weekend, take a few moments to observe and honor members of the U.S. Armed Services who gave their lives for our freedom. Add one of these traditions to your family’s celebration.
