Auli'i Cravalho Celebrates Memorial Day in Hawaii Just Like You Do

When you think of Memorial Day, you instantly think of that three day weekend right? And barbeques…

Turns out, so does Moana star Auli’i Cravalho.

The 16-year-old actress, who performed the National Anthem on PBS’ National Memorial Day Concert last night, is celebrating just like everyone else.

“Usually, for Memorial Day back in Hawaii, I would get together with my family and you know we’d enjoy the three day weekend as most families do,” she shared. “Maybe go to the beach and maybe barbeque and along with those happy memories.”

But that’s not all she does — she also salutes the sacrifice and service of women and men in uniform.

“I always just remember those who weren’t with us that day and it means something so special to me,” Auli’i says. “I’m honored to be here [in D.C.] and I’ll definitely be thinking of those family members.”
