Patch Picks: Five Great Memorial Day Activities
From honoring our troops to chowing down on BBQ.
Memorial Day serves two purposes: One, to honor and commemorate those who have served our country and fought for our freedom. Two, to gleefully eat BBQ and potato salad as we head into summer officially.
As both are definitely worthwhile endeavors, this week Patch brings you activities to celebrate both.
