You Said It: What Does Memorial Day Mean to You?

At American Legion post, it goes back to original meaning: remembrance.

While for a lot of Americans Memorial Day is a nice three-day escape from the routine or to kick off summer, folks at the American Legion Post 196 in Brecksville return to the basics: Memorial Day is about remembering the people who died defending the United States of America. 

Patch visited Post 196 as people there were getting ready for the post's biggest day of the year, and we asked a couple of them for their thoughts about Memorial Day.
