Memorial Day has always been a day for me to remember those close to us, those that we love, that are no longer on earth with us. I say, on earth, because I do feel that they are always with us. Like angels watching over us. It’s also a time that we honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

I remember even as a little girl, going with my parents with a Station Wagon full of flowers for the cemetery. We would visit each of the relatives and friends, and leave flowers. And the cemetery always had a special parade to honor those heroes that served our country.

After our trip to deliver flowers, we always gathered in the back yard for a family cook-out complete with Burgers on the Grill, Potato Salad and Corn on the Cob.
