Memorial Day is the unofficial kick off to Summer. . .
For us that means a holiday that involves boating & food. . .
so I had a little mosaic fun with photos taken on our boating outings~
(any mosaic will enlarge if you click on it)
Celebrating the Red, White & Blue. . .
Of course the holiday has a much more important significance than boating & picnics. . . it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in military service.
First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War, it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.
However you celebrate, spend a few moments to remember and give thanks for those who serve & protect us . . .
Wishing you Good Food. . .
Safe Travels. . .
. . .And time to kick back & put your feet up :-)
Happy Memorial Day!
