In my country there’s a memorial day too. It is celebrated on May 6-th every year. When I think of this, it always comes to my mind the patriotic songs they made us study in school. They were made in war time (when my country was fighting for independency against fascists and Nazis). They were made to encourage Albanian soldiers (a.k.a Partisans) who weren’t in fact proper soldiers but normal people fighting for their own country, for their own families.
That is the relationship I can make to myself and Memorial Day. Even when I forgot about it, I just had to turn on the TV and see that every channel was broadcasting war songs. This way I could tell that it was Memorial Day.
