I remember spending memorial day going to graveyards with my parents. While my parents tended the graves, my siblings and I would play amongst the gravestones. My mother had a rose garden and always took roses to put on the graves. To this day, the first memory I have when smelling roses is of graveyards. How's that for joy?

My father, grandfather and uncle were part of the local fire department, so for me when I was growing up it was a fun filled day...
My grandfather and father would be riding in the fire trucks in the parade. My grandmother was part of the ladies auxiliary so she would be with them walking in the parade and my uncle would dress up in his gorilla costume just so he could have fun with us kids.
After the parade was over we'd go to one of the state parks and there'd be picnics and events going on all day long. Pony rides, rides on the fire trucks...It was always a lot of fun. I used to be my uncle's shadow because anytime you saw him you'd see me. I never let that gorilla get out of my sight
Thanks for making me remember that...Those are truly cherished memories

Serenity,
That was beautiful. You are welcome. I have very similar memories of parades and the fire trucks, going to the local school yard and remembering out dearly departed that defended our freedom. Like you, it feels good to remember my Dad so fondly.

What a shame, some people see it as a day off and do not even take the time to remember those that lost their lives.
