This Memorial Day you've seen plenty of touching photos from Fort Snelling National Cemetery in the city of Minneapolis. I bet you won't see a photo like this. A few years back Amateur photographer Frank Glick spotted a bald eagle through perched on a gravestone, and snapped shots with his camera.

Memorial Day weekend is what many believe to be the "unofficial" start to summer. Apparently, Mother Nature isn't one of those believers.  It's likely we'll see at least another patchy frost as we start the three day holiday.

Over Memorial Day all over Central New York many local celebrations took place honoring men and women who served our country, and provided our freedom. While driving in New Hartford, I noticed a business had their flag displayed like this:

Every year the residents of New Hartford break out their lawn chairs and line Pearl Street to enjoy the annual Memorial Day parade. Fire Departments from all over the county, bands, and veterans march with pride and it's truly a sight to see! The community support is really remarkable.

While most of us took the Memorial Day Weekend to spend some time with family and friends and enjoy a burger or two on the grill, Brad Paisley kept the true meaning of the holiday.  Brad joined the President on an unannounced visit to Afghanistan, where he met the Fort Drum Commander and entertained the troops.  Read more to check out some of his tweets.

As Memorial Day opens the gate to summer, we all begin to plan our outdoor activities. Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages. And really, it wouldn’t be a summer holiday without some grilling.

Memorial Day is a holiday that is specifically dedicated to honoring and giving thanks to all those who are veterans or active members of the military. There are many movies that have been made about the wars these brave men and women fought to protect our freedoms. Here are the Top Ten films about Veterans to watch this Memorial Day Weekend.
