Today many people will have spent Memorial Day at home.

I am sure that many still celebrated with a BBQ, or had a special meal. I had planned on making some loose meat sandwiches, but since it was so hot I decided not to cook.

I will usually visit a cemetery on Memorial Day and take part in the memorial ceremonies.

However, this year the cemetery did not have the ceremonies because of social distancing measures. They also did not put flags on the graves this year.

However, I did take some time to look at some pictures from previous years to help me remember those who gave their lives for our country.

Our local cemetery has a Little Arlington section, and I will often walk through it on Memorial Day reading the names of the soldiers.

I also read quotes about Memorial Day like this one from President FDR.

I also reminisced about past Memorial Days where I spent time in a park with others celebrating.

Lots of memories on this day.
