There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'Memorial Day'

It's the unofficial start of summer. For many, it's the first three-day weekend
of the summer season. Stores have big sales to mark the occasion. And towns
across America have parades and remembrances to mark Memorial Day.

Day was originally called Decoration Day, a day when people would decorate the
graves of fallen soldiers with flowers.
