Memorial Day Observed Varies Across States and Nations
Memorial Day observed today in seven states while most parts of the nation mark Monday as the holiday. Across the U S crowds paused for remembrance of 700,000 war dead, with some embraces of sales and outdoor activities. New York and other locales saw slow financial activity and court actions over parade participation by anti abortion groups. Arlington honored veterans, Polar Bear survivors reflected on WWI history, and memorials spread from New Mexico to Kentucky and Oklahoma. Traffic fatalities over the three day weekend reached 485, up from 432 last year.
