I always thought of it as a day to remember all our passed away loved ones, but also to remember our veterans. It is a good holiday, metirish, you're right :)

A heartfelt thanks to all those that have fought and often died to secure the freedoms that many of us too often take for granted. I salute all of the veterans past and present.

The History Channel ain't what it used to be. Or what it's supposed to be. Memorial Day Weekend and they're showing wall-to-wall Pawn Stars.

Is ANZAC Day pretty much Memorial Day down under? I guess it is.

I think the allegory is spot on. Both initially commemorated the fallen at a particular battle, and then used to honor all members of the armed services. (A minority of Aussie Vietnam Vets had issues with the Anzac Day but they are no longer so vocal about it). I used to think Veterans Day was analogous to Anzac Day but that's merely what you folks called Armistice/Remembrance Day.
