Memorial Day

Memorial Day means a decent amount to me.  I do realize that it celebrates the people who died and served our country.  But people don't think about it, we just go out party and enjoy the three day weekend.  I am one of those people, I take it to heart that people sacrificed their lives for us, I have no idea how to celebrate it any other way.  I relaxed all weekend because I had a State Track meet to run at so I was completely dead.  It was first observed in 1868 as Decoration Day, it was to celebrate those who sacrificed their lives during war.
