Why we do what we do on Memorial Day.
We decorate gravestones on Friday or Saturday before Memorial Day.
We attend a Memorial service at the cemetery where my family is buried. (This year they read the Gettysburg Address which I thought was very appropriate and a wonderful addition to the tradition)
We tell stories and remember our loved ones who have gone on before us.
We respect the ones who have passed by celebrating with our loved ones.
We get together and cook out.
We have homemade ice cream.
We remember those that have given us the freedom to do just that.
