Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend that marks the beginning of summer. To many people, especially the nation's thousands of combat veterans, this day, which has a history stretching back all the way to the Civil War, is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country.

i worked at a cemetery for a couple of summers during college. it was really neat to walk the cemetery and place flags on the graves of the veterans. it made it "real" to me. thanks for the reminder.
