Memorial Day is a holiday that honors the brave men & women in uniform who died while serving their country. In small towns all over America, today’s observances will typically include parades & speeches. Followed by picnics & concerts on the green and the almost inevitable fireworks at night.
Well, since a lot of us no longer live in small towns, we may miss out on experiencing much of what makes Memorial Day so special. Which is why … Well, if you can’t actually get out to a fireworks display tonight, then JHM will bring a fireworks display to you now.
