memorial day

The last Monday in May is the traditional start of summer.

In states all across America, law enforcement agencies are increasing patrols over the Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day falls on the last Monday of May (this year, it's May 27) and commemorates all men and women who have died in military service for the United States. Many Americans fly the flag of the United States at half-mast from dawn until noon...

With most of the major rock festivals a very expensive flight away, it's good to see Texas get back in the festival business (anyone remember Texas Jam?). It's definitely a road trip away (but look at it this way - no TSA body cavity search, and you won't need a rental car), but the new River City Rockfest in San Antonio is definitely worth the drive...

Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. We celebrate Memorial Day in the United States every year on the last Monday in the month of May.

As many Americans enjoy a day off on Monday, it’s important to remember that Memorial Day isn’t just a day to relax — it’s a day to reflect. And that’s something quite a few rockers haven’t forgotten.

Ok so I can honestly say I am very excited about this, one reason is you have fast cars and hot guys. Ok so that is from a females point of view. But other than that you have tons of awesome action with good cheesy one liners. What's not to love right...

The last Monday in May. A convenient three-day weekend to kick off summer. A weekend to get together with friends and family...throw some burgers and steaks on the grill...relax by the pool...maybe get away for a little vacation. To many, that's what Memorial Day is all about.
