Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971. Here is a look at how Americans have celebrated through the years while also honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
The unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day weekend, is here. There will be parades and ceremonies to attend, campgrounds and cabins to drive to, and plenty of road construction throughout the state. With that in mind, the Minnesota Department of Transportation is reminding everyone to use caution this weekend.
