I recall it being called "Decoration Day" when I was a kid. Somewhere along the way it changed to "Memorial Day".
BTW, we once had a temporary pastor at our church who did a neat thing after the church service on Sunday before Memorial Day.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep.
