What did you do today?
Did you do anything special for fallen Armed Forces members?
Do you have a special story you'd like to share?
Does anyone in your family currently serve in the Armed Forces?
Do you know what Memorial's Day is?

My grandfather and father both have served in the military so today I went out of my way to drop an inverted cross on my grandfather's grave and visit my father. We had a "nice" BBQ and went swimming.

Share your experiences with us!

This is the first time I've heard of Memorial day. I don't know if any of my grandparents were in the military and I haven't seen any real family in the past 7 years so I can't ask.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 27 in 2013). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I.
