You Said It: What Do You Plan to Do for Memorial Day?

Parades, cookouts, cemetery visits among plans next weekend.

Memorial Day officially exists to commemorate members of the armed forces killed in war; it's now a federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May. 

Many communities observe the holiday with a parade honoring those vets and living vets, while some people pay a quiet visit to a cemetery. Others take advantage of the long weekend and, hopefully, a nice day to cook out with friends and family. Alas, some of us will be working much or all of the holiday weekend.

Tell us about your plans for this Memorial Day.
