My dad was a veteran of World War 2. He served as a MP in the Army in Okinawa and came home after the war, had a family and enjoyed the rest of his life while many others who served didn't.
A memorial is an object, sculpture, headstone or statue which serves as a memory of someone. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May since 1971.
