The history behind Memorial Day is pretty strait forward. The reason we celebrate this holiday is in remembrance to those that gave their lives in the name of our country. There are many ways to spend the holiday. For some visiting graves of soldiers is the way to go while others prefer parades. There is no wrong way to go about it, those that gave their lives did so in the name of freedom.

This year Fleet Week has some great events over the weekend that is well worth the time. There are some great military demonstrations and tours of visiting ships that are hard to pass up. There are numerous competitions such as eating contests and tug of war. Some of these festivities should be a stop for your New York Limo.

Memorial Day is an important day that has been part of us since the end of the civil war. It is an important day for all of us as it reminds us what we fought for and what we still continue to fight for. Freedom is always earned and sometimes the path is bloody. Make this Memorial Day special for friends and family and rent a New York Limo. Treat everyone to a grand day filled with parades, food, and lots of laughs. Regardless of how you choose to spend the day, remember those who gave their lives for us and be happy.
