memorial day

Brookshire Grocery Company will be escorting 23 World War II veterans and one Korean War veteran to Washington, D.C. May 28-30 as part of its 16th Heroes Flight.

Memorial Day is a holiday most Americans get to enjoy. We get a day off from work to spend time with friends and family, maybe have some BBQ, enjoy some local sales and just relax. Memorial Day isn't about any of these things. The U.S. Marines have posted an incredible video via their official YouTube channel to remind us what the day is truly about.

Americans are taking to the roads, skies, rails and water this Memorial Day weekend.

The soldier's hometown was New Orleans before he was killed during fighting in the Pacific during WWII.

The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission is expecting a record number of motorists to hit the road this holiday weekend.

It's about that time to celebrate our country's heroes and do a little grilling!

The Summer grilling season is upon us. Here are some rather unique ideas I bet you've never tried on your grill. Don't be narrow minded, give them a try.

If you're sliding a steak on your barbeque pit this Memorial Day chances are you're going to paying a bit more for that delicious goodness.

Bikers rally at the Pentagon all morning Sunday, then cross the Memorial Bridge at noon and cruise around the National Mall.

All residential customers served by Republic Services and the Recycling Foundation should set waste out the evening before their regularly scheduled collection day during the entire week of Memorial Day.

Please give thanks for the brave men and women who have sacrificed for you.

The song that we used to say goodbye to fallen heroes has quite a story behind it. Did you know there were lyrics written for the song Taps? They are just as beautiful and compelling as the simple haunting melody of the song.

The Lafayette Concert Band will pay tribute to those who have served our country, and who died fighting for our freedom, on Sunday, May 25th, at a Memorial Day Concert.

We have plenty of Memorial Day events going on around Acadiana this weekend, including Cajun Heartland State Fair, and Bayou Country Superfest!

Americans across the country celebrate Memorial Day in honor of those who have died while in the military service. Though it's a day of remembrance, it also kicks off the most fun part of the year -- summer! For many, Memorial Day signals the beginning of beach season and barbecues. So let's celebrate America with these fun GIFs!

Got any Memorial Day plans? Maybe you’re heading to a parade and dressing up in those American flag shorts (guilty). Or perhaps heading to the public pool to kick off swimming season is more your style. Whatever you do, there’s one Memorial Day staple that all Americans must experience on Monday— the BBQ.

Hooo boy, it is so close to being summer, we can practically hear the incessant song of the ice cream truck already. Frankly we don't want to wait until Monday to kick off the season. We can't. We've lost all control. Here are some pics of animals in kiddie pools to prove it.

There will be no changes to waste collection schedule for the entire week of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, and that means it's time for one of our favorite things: grilling. Sometimes, however, what should be such a simple process can go horribly wrong.

Memorial Day weekend, which is coming up soon, doesn't offer a a reprieve from the daily grind for many athletes. The NBA and NHL playoffs are still smoking hot, and Major League Baseball is in full swing.
