I for one will celebrate as I always do... Watch the Preisdent lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and barbecue by the pool.

BTW, if you have never been to the Tomb, I highly recommend it. The Changing of the Guard Ceremony is a somber memorial to those who fell in battle, never to be buried.

Sorry, Memorial Day was created to remember those who died in the line of duty serving their country. Establish a separate day for civilians killed by acts of war or aggression, please.
