Memorial Day

Memorial Day is specifically dedicated to remembering the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It's not to honor all veterans (there's a day for that).

Enjoy your picnic, but remember what the day is set aside for.

    A good reminder to honour those that gave so much, their lives, for the freedoms enjoyed today.

      I still miss it being on the 30th lol, but the reason for the day is the same.

    So many stores think it is just a day for sales. It is rather a sad state of affairs when that's what so many people think of that.

    I'm always amazed that people don't realize the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I'm sp glad you shared this with us. It's truly a somber day, even if it's a national holiday.

      It's good to remember why we get the holiday, I think.

      I cooked burgers and played on the patio :) I put a flag on the front door to mark the day.

      I think the photo is from Pixabay.
