In many parts of the South, Memorial Day used to be known as Decoration Day, a day when communities gather to clean and decorate their local cemeteries. Listen to this National Public Radio story about it at http://www.npr.org/2011/05/28/136742729/decoration-day-the-southern-way-to-honor-the-dead?ft=1&f=1003
It's also a great day to honor and recognize the millions of men and women who have served our country in the military for their bravery and commitment to the United States of America! Hope you've had a great Memorial Day!
