Memorial Day, same thing as usual

My Memorial Day was the same as all the others. Me doing nothing at my house. Sure there is a parade and such, but I never go. I now have basic cable in order to save money. The only thing that I can actually stand to watch is the history or channel and cartoon network and thankfully they are only one channel apart. Watching the history channel I noticed it was all about war. This stuff actually caught my attention, so I sat there watching for hours. I watched about the war in the pacific and the US carriers and battles it went through. My city is trying to make people remember about war. There is a park where all the roads are named after wars, there is a statue about the Civil war in the corner between two main roads. There is actually a school called Veterans Memorial. I actually attended this middle school and read in a newspaper that the Korean War veterans donated nine flags representing every branch of the military and a new American Flag to replace the old one. The paper said there was a ceremony and everything.
