There are MANY activities/memorials taking place all over the city on Monday. I will probably be doing the ton of homework that my instructors have seen fit to load on us for the weekend, tho.

Usually, if I was still at home, my mom and whoever of us was around would take flowers up to my Grandpa's grave. He always has a flag on his grave as he was a "doughboy" in France in WWI.

No big plans here for the holiday. However the city I live in is having a big celebration for the Marines returning from the war on Monday, as well as celebrations for those from other wars.

Sunday/Monday will be dh's first days off in two weeks so I think we'll just relax, do gardening, BBQ and maybe see a movie. Never go away on these weekends as it's way to busy on the highways.

Parades and things for vets, etc planned for the town.
