The day you can run up to a military/navy/airforce man and give him a big hug and say "Thank you"

For those in the US at least
xDD

Also the where Bang Fags, such as myself, have to march in 80 degree weather, no shade, and in uniforms thicker than your skin.
DD:

But it was fun.

So, how are you guys spending your Memorial Day?
If you don't celebrate Mem. Day, what do you do that makes this Monday so special?

Well, I'm going to buy hiking boots.

Really exciting, eh? biggrin

You? Other than marching in the sun, that is.

I spent my Monday on Gaia xD
Advertising my avatar arena entry.
And then playing on Resident Evil.
Not very special I'm afraid xD

Alas, my living in Canada means that:
a. I know not of this 'Memorial Day' of which you speak, and
b. It snowed/hailed today. >_<.

I would have killed to stay home, play some Resident Evil...

You can find a way to get here and play Resident Evil with me xD
We don't know about memorial day either.
The closest we get to hugging the military guys and saying thanks is an "Oi oi sexy!" from across the street xD

I would be in New York, having a nice 'Que, but I don't have money for a ticket.

I'd shout some whole complicated plan about playing Resident Evil online, but the day I got an online PS2, I found out the servers were taken down. >_<.

And I'm kind of in the same boat as you, Anita...I was supposed to go to Ottawa this month, but I'm a deadbeat, so..

Yuuh, how s**t is that >_< No online-ness.
I was meant to be in like... France.
But I am jobless and therefore do not have the £200 odd to get the train there.
Plus I still have an exam left to do next week.
So I guess here is better....

To be honest I do not celebrate it, I am silently thankful for it though.
A day of memory is always the best I think. ^_^
One time my mum bought dinner for two strangers that were in the Army, that was awesome, we all cried for some reason. <.<;;

Awh that was nice of your mum :3
We don't really have a day to thank military people, we have remembrance days and stuff though.
Meh, I think we all appreciate them, we just don't have a specific day to show the appreciation.

|•|Every year my mother's side of the family all meet up, have dinner at my cousins house then go to the cemetery where most of the family is buried and spend time talking abut stuff for hours and hours until it starts to get dark. I was supposed to go again this year, but they left without me. >_<; So, I ended up just laying around all day.

Usually all we do is go see a movie, we don't
have any military people in my family. However this year, I had to go
to state solo and ensemble for band - but hey, I got a free trip out of it!
