On Memorial Day I will be thanking about the people that have lost their life in their life in war. Also it is the day the outside pool opens at the YMCA so I will be there. But I will be at the grave putting flowers on my granddaddy’s grave.

My plan for memorial day is to watch all the war movies and documentaries on the military and history channels. Memorial Day means alot to me because my grandfather was killed on Iwo-Jima. It is a very sad topic.

I will be going to NC with my father this weekend. Seeing that video touched me, didnt realize what memorial day was all about. I reach out to all the families that lost there loved ones in war.

I don't have any family that died in the war, but I support and respect our troops, past and present. God bless those that gave their life for our freedom! Our countries nationalism is an imporant value, never think twice about your freedom. You shouldn't take it for granted because one day you may not have that same freedom.

This Memorial weekend I am going with Amber this weekend. I guess you could consider them my family. I do not think I am going to the cemetary. I do not really observe Memorial day like others.

I don't know what I will be doing for Memorial Day. To me it means two things. It means a day off from school and a day when we should honor those who died serving our country.

Well my plans are I’m going to a cookout Saturday with some friends. Then going to spend time with my Family and put flowers on my uncle’s grave. I think it’s time we show our troops some love so everyone who has people in their family that serve please just tell them thanks.

Well my plans is to go out and have some fun. The most biggest thing I might do is go to a club. The other thing that is on my list to do is to go and out and put flowers on my love one's grave like my grandmother etc. Hope that everyone in WHS has a wonderful holiday and I will see you soon.

We always have a big family cookout for Memorial Day. Memorial Day means a lot to me, my Grandfather was in the Vietnam War and he recently passed last year. He always use to tell me war stories and from that point on I knew being in the war was more then a job. It was most people lives.Have a safe Memorial Day.
