Thanks Kobi for the historical run-down. Yes, the 3-day weekends, BBQ' and all do take us away from why and how holidays are brought to us. Yesterday while I was out doing some work in my front yard, I chatted with a few school kids walking home about Memorial Day. Not one of them knew that it had a thing to do with military service at all! WTF?? These were middle school kids. Not exactly a scientific study, but I was amazed.
