Memorial Day

Memorial Day
A Game to Remember Family is the most important thing to me. They are always going to be there for you when no one else is. Unless tragedy
strikes and turns your whole world around. Every year for Memorial Day my family gets together and has a big picnic and we go to a parade in
Pecatonica, Illinois. This is where most of us grew up so it just felt like going home whenever we went. My sister and I got put into Foster Care at
the age of two. We rarely got to see our mother and a lot of other family members, so days like this were very exciting because we got to see
everyone. This filled me up with excitement.
Memorial Day of 2012 was the one that stands out the most, and I did not even get to spend it with family. I had a baseball tournament...show more

We started off really strong and the score was 0–0 through the first two innings. Before I even got the chance to go bat, I heard my phone start to ring
in my bag. I was not up for two more batters so I answered it. It was my sister and when she answered the phone she was crying. That's when all of
the thoughts started to run through my head because I knew instantly something was wrong. The first thoughts that went through my head was my
great grandma or grandpa got hurt because they were the oldest and that's who we lived with. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with her,
but she could not stop crying enough to even talk to me. My emotions at this point are all over the place and I could not think straight. She then
hand the phone to my great grandma so she could talk to me. I asked her what was wrong and all she said was, " Something bad happened in the
family, we all love you and we want you to do good today so focus on baseball and do good." And all I heard was the dial tone at the other end of
the phone. The silence just made me keep thinking of the worst possible situations. The screams from my teammates telling me that I am next to bat
brought me back from my thoughts and I did what she told me to do and focused on baseball. It was time for my first at bat and I was shaking with
fear, but what happened next, no one in the stadium

Memorial Day Short Story
It was early Friday afternoon, the start of Memorial Day weekend and I almost lost my best friend. Now usually on Memorial Day weekend my
family and close family friends go camping but this year the other family couldn't go so we decided to call it off. Not having anything to do that day I
decided to take my dog for a walk. My dog is a Terrier Poodle mix so she's not very big. Her name is Pepper and she's just your average lap dog but
she's my best friend. So i put her leash on her and asked my little sister is she wanted to go and she said no, so it was just Pepper and I. We made it
two houses down before the neighbor's German Shepherd came to meet us. There was nothing to worry about though because this is a nice dog, so I
thought. Before I knew what was happening the German Shepherds jaw crushed down on Peppers back and stomach, picked her up, shook her like a
chew toy, and threw her. The...show more content...
I yelled for her to come quick scared out of my mind to the point of tears still trying to process everything. I will never forget the look my mom and
brother gave me when they saw her. My mom immediately took her from me and told my brother to start the car. The neighbor who witnessed it
came over to see the damage, he felt horrible and said he would pay the vet bill. At this point my brain finally processed everything that was going
on and I broke down into tears. I cried and cried and just couldn't stop. It had just happened on my watch and I had felt it was all my fault. If only I
had done something slightly different. If only I hadn't went on a walk. If only we were packing our bags to get ready for camping. If she died it
could only be my fault. I truly thought I had lost my best friend. She had to have major surgery but she made it through. She came home and could
barely stand for two weeks. Today, she is alive and well. Now we never go on a walk without mace and we carry her past the house where the dog

Memorial Day Speech
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.[1] The
holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May,[2] originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the
Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the

In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the
character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on
graves and renew contacts with relatives and others. There often is a religious service and a picnic–like "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for
a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the
American Civil Warand thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.[4]
Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while
Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military
