memorial day defined...

i have this issue of forgetting about holidays and when reminded im still clueless as to what it is were supposed to be celebrating. i mean really, who comes up with these days? and who agrees? mothers day, fathers day, labor day...i don't understand why we cant recognize these people everyday...whatever it is, im taking it upon myself to learn about the importance of these so called "holidays" so i can at least explain it to my kids...

up first...
