Memorial Day: A Whole New Meaning

Once upon a time, I lived a life where Memorial Day weekend marked the beginning of summer, with backyard barbecues and three days off from work and school.
I was always touched by the parade and cemetery services in that small town.
But I’ll admit the holiday fun only actually began after that “depressing part” was over.
I remembered what Memorial Day was all about, but I didn’t know.
This year I know.
