MEMORIAL DAY ? [+] ballot by larrynelmira ACTIVE Sat May 26, 07 - Wed May 30, 07 Is it a celebration? Most people I know go on picnics outings and such, my family does that as well, but we also put flowers at the cemetery, why you may ask? I don’t know, I guess it’s tradition, and to remember, although I don’t’ need a national holiday to remember those who have died. I don’t know where I’m going with this ballot, I guess I’m just thinking it’s little odd with country at war and our troops are dying as I write this, people still will “celebrate” Memorial Day by traveling to lakes, going on picnics, going to memorial day sales, travel to unnecessary destinations and use lots of gas and other such things that has nothing to do with the holiday. I actually could count on one hand the people I know who say they are observing Memorial Day for the reason congress enacted “Memorial Day is a United States public holiday that takes place on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.” What do you do I remember those who died in military I remember loved ones who died I travel to unnecessary destinations and use lots of gas I go on Picnic I get drunk, long weekend and all Just a day off work for me Ballot #115172 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
