Memorial Day
Traditionally, Memorial Day was a day to honor our relatives and friends who served in the military who have passed away. My own father is one such fellow. He earned two bronze stars and a Purple Heart medal during his service in the 101st Airborne Division in World War II. I also have many other relatives who served in the military as well who have passed away.
Memorial Day has grown to encompass a remembrance of ALL relatives and friends who have died. This weekend, when I placed flowers on the grave markers of all my relatives who have died, I worked to recall all the fun times we had together. I miss you all, and appreciate the impact each of you have had in shaping me. I hope I am not a disappointment to you.

I did my four years of service but I don't pay a lot of attention to the holiday.
A lot of people just use it as an excuse to have a three day weekend. And there is a lot of extra travel, getting more of them killed because of congestion.
