Memorial Day Party |
 |
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day was set aside each day to honor American Civil War soldiers who had lost their lives in battle, by decorating their graves. The holiday is celebrated the last Monday each May all over the nation, with Memorial Day parties of various types.
In the year 1966, Waterloo, New York was named the official birthplace of Memorial Day, and in current times, the official Memorial Day Celebration is held at Arlington National Cemetery, where the acting Vice President of The United States places a memorial wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. Though many people still include grave decoration in their Memorial Day Celebrations, many people celebrate in a variety of other ways as well, and various types of Memorial Day Parties are held all over the country.
When families gather together to celebrate what is, for many the first real holiday of the season, this year will be, for most Americans, especially poignant. Consider incorporating flower arrangements into at least a small part of the cook out or barbecue and spending time in the fun and sun, to honor the soldiers throughout time who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and taking them to local cemeteries to place upon the graves.
In the mean time, even if you don't have a grill or a pool, you can still enjoy the health benefits of grilling and the wonderful flavors we all enjoy, by taking large clay or terracotta flower pots, filling them approximately half full of sand, placing a layer of hot coals on top, and laying skewered kabobs of meats, veggies, or fruits that have been seasoned and marinated over the pots until the food it done, and enjoy the taste of outdoors at your Memorial Day Party! |
