Memorial Day isn't about having the day off from work and going to BBQs -- it's about paying homage to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

On Monday, NFL players and teams posted tributes on social media to the servicemen and women who died while serving the country in the U.S. Armed Forces:
