Has Memorial Day lost it's meaning?

I very much enjoy camping the camping trips we make this weekend. Even so, I'd like to see memorial day moved back to May 30th even more.

In Green Bay: Traditional Memorial Day services: 6:30 p.m. May 30. At 6 p.m. 20 plus veteran organizations line up colors at the Chamber of Commerce water front, 400 S. Washington St. Remarks made by Mayor Jim Schmitt. Guest speaker is Russel Buhr, Sons of American Revolutions. Chaplain is Pastor Paul Garrison of Spring Lake Church. The ship's bell of the 1903 USS Des Moines will toll once for each organization placing a wreath. Firing squad is VVA Chapter 224. Sponsored by the United Patriotic Society of Green Bay and hosted by the Daughters of American Revolution. I went to this solemn event last year and am glad I did.
