. Since we're approaching Memorial Day, did your family have any weird Traditions that they maintained over the years?
My mother's bourbon-soaked fruit cakes that weighed almost 10 lbs. friends always lied and said they liked it

                                        Since the USA have 11/11 to honour war dead same as the rest of the world, isn't simply a bit of a weird tradition to have another one in May in itself?

                                        yeah, america co-opted that, and its 'veterans day' here. for the rest of the world its armistice day tho, yeah.
I'll be home alone like every Memorial Day. I'll probably go to the gym.

                                        As a kid that was the day swimming pools opened. It was usually too cold for swimming. It was also the day that were allowed to wear white clothing again.
