Memorial Day is more than backyard barbecues and the unofficial start of summer. The holiday is an important opportunity to honor the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen who died while serving their country in Uniform.
Memorial Day usually means a three-day weekend for many with backyard barbecues and the unofficial start of summer, but there is more to it than that. The American holiday hasn't always gone by Memorial Day, but has always been a holiday and an opportunity to honor military personnel who died while serving in the U.S. military. Among the many ceremonies planned for Monday, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1666 in Yonkers will hold a ceremony at 1 p.m. at 574 Yonkers Avenue.
