When most of us think about Memorial Day the first thing that pops in our mind is barbeque's with family and friends, a three day weekend and the beginning of summer. This federal holiday, which is a day of remembrance for those who died in our nation's service, was originally known as Decoration Day. Please take a moment this weekend and remember the men and women who sacrificed everything for this great nation. Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend while being mindful of our fallen.
The DFW area has some great activities planned. Listed below are some of the events you can enjoy with your family I found these at http://dallas.about.com/od/arts/tp/MemorialDay2010.htm.
