What Does Memorial Day Mean to You?

For some, Memorial Day is a solemn day to remember the men and women who died serving our country. For others, it’s a day of picnics and barbeques to celebrate the unofficial start of summer.

What does the day mean to you? Do you have any family traditions for how you celebrate — a trip to the cemetery, marching in a parade?

Please share your thoughts on the day and your favorite way to spend it in the comments below. We’ll pull together a sampling of responses for a story on Monday. If you’ve got a photo from years past that you’d like to share, please do by clicking the “upload photos” button above.
