Memorial Day weekend has begun with many taking advantage of the three days to begin summer activities. That's fine, but let us remember what Memorial Day means. It is a day we recognize those who gave their lives in wars beginning with the War Between the States and now honoring those who died in all wars since.
Memorial Day should not be confused with Veteran's Day. Again, Memorial Day is the day we remember the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, living or dead.
Some cities will hold parades and some people will decorate graves with American flags. Many churches will have special Sunday services to mark the day.
