Re: Memorial Day Weekend.

I heard they other day that Memorial Day was first meant to be a day when everyone would go to a soldier's grave and place flowers. This may seem "duh" to most people but I knew you were suppposed to honor and remember the fallen (as you bbq and drink beer) but i never made the connection that you were supposed to go to a grave to honor.

I would really love to do that. I have my dad and my granddad's grave right next to each other and would love to drive up to frederick .... really hope I can make that happen around my work schedule.
