Memorial Day is a great holiday. It means a lot to those who have relatives that have served in the army. It shows that they are much appreciated, and are honorable for what they have done. I enjoy memorial day because my family gets the day off from work and we are all able to spend leisure time together. I am really interested in seeing the National Memorial Day Parade now that I am aware of its existence. I am wondering what they will do at such an event, and my interest is peaked. I will celebrate Memorial Day this way from now on if a good show is put on. For anyone who has served in the military services, I'd now like to say thank you
