Memorial Day Dates Through 2019

The patriot's blood is the seed of Freedom's tree. ~Thomas Campbell

Make Memorial Day Memorable And Forget The Hamburgers!

"Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed greatly to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day." -- VFW web site [www.vfw.com/amesm/memorialday.shtml], Feb 2002

Our kids (including my grand children) have NO idea what it is about and that is a shame.  We try to install the importance of the day but that is all we can do!
