REGION- For most of us, Memorial Day means an extended weekend and an unofficial start to summer.
Traditions, old and new, are observed. Visiting cemeteries, attending memorials, holding family gatherings, and going camping just to name a few.
Despite the rain, many lined the streets for parades across the region.
Whatever our traditions are, remembering the reason for the federal holiday is an important and solemn one. The day honors those who have lost their lives serving in the U.S. military. We remember their sacrifice with gratitude, so we can continue to pass down our traditions, including remembering them. We thank them for preserving our liberties.
