We often think of Memorial Day as the unofficial start of Summer. We go to the beach, enjoy barbecues and sales in stores and on line. Memorial Day started out as a day of remembrance to honor the many thousands of men and women who gave their lives so we could be free. Whatever we do to relax and spend good times together today. We should always remember the sacrifices of those who have made our freedom possible. I'm sure there are more ceremonies in our area. These are the ones I could find.
