I've marched in many Memorial Day parades in Port Chester, NY, and the ceremony which precedes it always seems to bore almost everyone in attendance. When I was in Israel for Yom Hazikarom/Yom Haatzmaut, I saw what it means to remember those who died. Is there a reason why US Memorial day is the last Monday in May? I say we move it to July 3rd.
