I hope you all had a happy and refreshing Memorial Day. Maybe you even had a chance to bust out the grill and catch up with family and friends. But I would not want to be remiss and forget the true meaning of Memorial Day—a day to remember the people (whether they were service members or civilians) who sacrificed their lives to make ours a little more comfortable. You can see more photos of Memorial Day observances in Maryland here.
Check out Slate’s Today Pictures feature, culled from the Magnum Photos archive. It’s dedicated to Memorial Day and all things grilled.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
