Yesterday was observed as Memorial Day in the United States, a day for remembering the men and women of USA armed services who died while at war. Memorial Day weekend has also become the unofficial kickoff to summer, complete with backyard barbecues, parades and family getaways. Here are a couple of photographs acknowledging the men and women who have been in conflicts from the U.S. Civil War through Iraq and Afghanistan today.Plus, it meant I could spend the day driving from St Louis to Chicago while consuming 4000 calories of the best fast food that the USA has to offer.
