Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May (Credit: DOGOnews)

Memorial Day, which falls on May 26 this year, is often considered the unofficial start of summer. However, the federal holiday has a much deeper purpose. It honors the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the US Armed Forces. This includes those in the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.

            I have (closely related) retired relatives and relatives who fought WWII and the Korean War. He wasn't in combat in the Korean War, but he came pretty close to. Almost got killed.
