Memorial Day Weekend 2021

Submitted by ub on

Opening week for local beaches- Let the games begin, but be careful of wicked weather predictions being made to spoil the days.

It is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This holiday is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970.

But Americans should never forget who we celebrate. “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers” -Donald J. Trump. Words of the man who got 5 deferments to stay out of Vietnam and is currently undermining democracy with the help of the GOP. #MemorialDayWeekend - The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries. By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.

Memorial Day weekend washout likely for millions, but will Monday salvage things? Let us wait and see and just let it be.
