Patch's Poll: How Will You Celebrate Memorial Day?

The Monday holiday was created to pay homage to our nation's fallen soldiers. What are your plans?

On Monday, there will be parades, there will be flag-decorated tombstones, and there will be the playing of Taps. These are all symbols of Memorial Day.

But Memorial Day is also looked at as the unofficial start of summer, with cookouts, beach outings, and trips to take advantage of the Monday holiday.

What are your plans? Take our poll and add your thoughts in the comments.
