it used to be called Decoration Day. now it is called Memorial Day. when i was but a child there were fireworks and parades etc. nowadays i guess there are still parades and some folks celebrate the day. it's not the big thing it once was however. nevertheless, here are some pictures of parades featuring the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps and the Navy. the first picture is of an early 20th century parade and the next four are pretty self explanatory. i'm a Viet Nam Era Navy Veteran myself so i always think about it on this day. too bad people can't leave each other alone so maybe we wouldn't have any more wars. spend a day at the VA Hosp. sometime and you'll see what i mean.
