For many years I said Happy MEMORIAL Day! not having a clue what it meant. From a young age I associated MEMORIAL Day with the first cookout of the summer and a big sale. As I got older I believed MEMORIAL Day had something to do with remembering those that had served in the military that were now deceased. Well, I must have missed that lesson in civics or history class. As we see above MEMORIAL Day is about remembering those who died while actually serving. I wonder who else may have it confused with Veterans Day, like I did...
