Memorial Day weekend is probably one of those holidays everyone is excited about just because it’s going to be a long weekend. Jetsetters, people who were bit by the travel bug, or families who just want a quick getaway, use this time to take a short vacation and relax. But Memorial Day weekend is more than that. This holiday is observed each year in honor and remembrance for all men and women who passed away while serving the United States Armed Forces. See what activities you can do while commemorating this holiday in Boston!
