My Memorial Day

Most of my memorial day was spent doing things that are not based on remembering the dead. Saturday night I drove down to my friends shore house with my girlfriend. We stayed down till monday morning and then drove to my house. On monday, memorial day, I spent the day with my family. We played board games, ate a nice meal together, and just sat on my back deck next to the pool. We then remembered my grandfather who died about five years back. The only connection between this rememberence and the war is that my grandfather was a war veteran. Overall, I am ashamed to say it, but I did not really remember the holiday.
