Sherrie Norris Lovin’ Spoonful Cooking Column: Memorial Day and Graduations – A Time of Remembrance and Honor
May 17, 2023 A busy Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, right along with local high school graduations. The coming days will be filled with parties, picnics and memorial gatherings, the latter of which might be, or at least should be, more solemn affairs that the former. However, Memorial Day has become known as the unofficial beginning to summer and goes hand-in-hand with graduations, in that respect. Memorial Day is often confused with Veteran’s Day, as it is a day set aside to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in military service to our country. Veteran’s Day, in November, honors all veterans. By Sherrie Norris
