18 Times Memorial Day Went About How You’d Expect

Dear readers,

Celebrated since the 1860s, Memorial Day began as a way to recognize the lives lost in defense of our freedoms. Now, it is often associated with sales, barbecues, and the unofficial start to the summer season. Memorial Day 2020 may be a bit different than others you’ve experienced in the past; it’s a bit hard to picture getting together for barbecues and pool parties right now.

Here’s a look back at 18 Memorial Days past, when the world was a little more “normal,” but no less frustrating!
