Memorial Day is a day dedicated to those people, and animals, that have fallen in faithful service to the United States. ----------------------------- It is a federally-recognized holiday (banks and post office are closed) that falls on a Monday which means that most people get the day off from work. ----------------------------- This results in a "long weekend" which means additional parties can be planned for that Sunday night and cook-outs can be planned for that Monday. I like to think that most people spend a second, maybe two, recognizing the sacrifices of our friends and forefathers with a toast, a shot of whiskey, spill a beer, have a moment of silence, explain the day to the kids, or something along those lines.
