O.T. Memorial day in the U.S.
 

Tomorrow in the U.S. we are celebrating Memorial day. It is really on may 30
but everything here is turned into a 3 day weekend.

It's not a day for car sales or 50 percent off a TV set. It's a day to
remember all the veterans who fought and died in wars.

I want to thank all of the veterans for the sacrifices they made. My fatther
in law is was the Navy and I have heard about how difficult it can be on the
families.

Memorial day was also a day to visit grave sites of family and at one time,
this was a "mandatory" thing in our family. It was a day long history
lesson, if you will.

Yeah, I was totally surprised to find it's the 26th instead of the 30th!

I'm remembering my father. He served in WWII, Korea & Vietnam. This is
what Memorial Day is about. Not cookouts/BBQ's. I suppose that's a nice
way to spend time with family on this "holiday" but please take a moment to
remember what others did so that you are able to have this holiday weekend.
Thanks, Dad!

Will do, and I'm also lighting some candles. Both my deceased Mom and Dad
were in the Armed Forces in WW2, Dad was in The Navy and Mom was in The
Coast Guard,
Bless our fallen comrads.

I think we still do in the U.S., too - although it's "Veteran's Day",
now, and always falls on a Monday (due to our national preoccupation
with "three day weekends"). IIRC, "Memorial Day" was a spinoff of our
Civil War/War Between the States, so has been around a bit longer than
the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" (marking
the end of WW1, and formerly called "Armistice Day" here).

It still is in parts of the U.S., too - assuming you still live in the
same town they did. Americans tend to move around so much, nowadays,
that often we live too far away from our family's grave-sites to make
memorial visits practicable.
