Tell about Memorial Day traditions in your youth.

Grandma always had beautiful flowers by the time it was Memorial Day so we would go cut several bunches of them and take them to my Grandmother and Grandfather Poulson's graves in Holden. It was always a very long day and we would then go to Centerfield to do the graves there as well. In my teenage years I think it was getting harder on dad to travel so we didn't do it nearly as much as I had remembered earlier. There were a few family relatives in the Duchesne Cemetery that we would also take flowers to so that we could decorate those graves.
