Boise (670 KBOI News) – It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and people across the nation will be celebrating the start of summer.

But it’s called Memorial Day for a reason…a day to remember the sacrifices made by our service men and women over the years, that male it possible for us to enjoy a weekend of camping and fishing.

“We are holding our annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Idaho State Veterans’ Cemetery, Monday May 28th at 10:00 am,” said Wallior.  “This is to remember all of our veterans who died serving in defense our great nation.  It also happens to be the 100-year commemoration of Word War One.”
