momofkhm Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 So I keep seeing these pictures on Facebook about how it's Memorial Day not national barbecue day. Ok, I understand that. But how do you go about celebrating Memorial Day? My father and my father-in-law are both veterans of Viet Nam. Both dh and I grew up with barbecue day. Maybe something was happening on post/base. But in the end it was a family day with hamburgers and hotdogs and the fixin's. More a day to celebrate the start of summer than anything involved in actually remembering people who gave all. An odd Monday off for Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Today at church we had a service with a wonderful message from a Vietnam Vet. We then took him out to lunch. Some years we go to a service at a local cemetery honoring veterans and other service members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
