Lastly, don’t forget the Grill section if you’re looking for something delish to toss on that grill, like baby back ribs, the Perfect Steak, or Grilled Corn on the Cob.

Enjoy your day, and take time out of the festivities to have a moment of respect, whether simply in thought, or a heartfelt prayer, for what- and more importantly WHO, this day represents.

Questions & Reviews

  1. Cute ideas, but I think they are more appropriate for the 4th of July or Veteran’s Day. We attended a Memorial Day Service and a Gold Star Mother’s words just struck me. Memorial Day is not a day to celebrate. It’s not a Happy Memorial Day. It’s a day to remember those who didn’t make it back to celebrate Veteran’s Day.
