Memorial Day weekend is here and for many of us, that means an extra day to relax and spend time with family.

It also means a time to reflect and be thankful for those who have died serving our country and to honor our American soldiers still fighting for us today.

We all celebrate or observe Memorial Day weekend in different ways, so we thought it best to let you share your memories with us through our photo gallery.

Simply upload your photo of you or your family's observance to our gallery above and be sure to tell us what's happening in the photo in the caption.
