Memorial Day Webquest

My grandfather was a Korean War veteran.  I spend Memorial Day thinking about him and remembering how he was a hero in the war he faught in.  Some people have bar-b-ques on Memorial Day to celebrate the coming of summer and they don't even know what the true meaning of Memorial Day is.  Complete this WebQuest to learn more about Memorial Day!
