Today is Memorial Day in the U.S., a federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country.
Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries or memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. Washington time.
Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, family gatherings, and sporting events--and a time to go to the beach and annoy locals who live there year round. (I know because I live at the shore)
A lot of Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.
We're planning on spending the late morning/early afternoon at the beach then family is coming over for a BBQ. I'm putting together some chicken kabobs. Yum.
Have a good one!
