Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. As a marker it typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
I salute all the selfless people who served in the United States Armed Forces, and anyone else who took part in fighting for/ protecting our country! Thank you for your kind acts to keep America free!!
Here are a few photos from my Memorial weekend...
Nothing beats the smell of meat on the grill, family laughing together, blue skies above High Rock Lake, and some good ole corn hole! And the weekend wouldn't be complete without a sunburn! Hooray for Rachel!
