Tiffany and I are planning on going to her parents house on Memorial Day. Then we are going to see some friends from NJ.
What are you doing this year for Memorial Day? Do you have any Memorial Day traditions?
And here is a secondary question… Seeing as how many people have bar’Bques, or cookouts, what is your favorite thing to have off of the grill?

Memorial Day Sonnet
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember what my freedom cost,
By those who gave their all to keep me free,
Whose lives were sacrificed, but never lost.
I will remind myself of what they did,
And keep them dearly cherished in my heart;
Their honor never from me shall be hid
And I will know they always did their part
To save our nation and its people here,
To pledge their lives in defense of our ways,
To show that freedom always outlives fear,
And sacrifice is hallowed all our days.
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember those who kept me free.
