Today has been a  a great day spending times with friends and family. I spent the day like most all who celebrate Memorial day. We grilled out today, since the weather here in the Carolinas was great. We even made some home-made ice cream too. However this day is just not to have fun and spend it with family or friends, but to observe the day by remembering all the U.S. men and women who have perished while in military service to their country.
