Memorial Day

Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971. Here is a look at how Americans have celebrated through the years while also honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Keep these things in mind when traveling for Memorial Day this year.

It's almost here, Memorial Day Weekend is fast approaching. For many, at least the fair weather griller, it's the first big cookout of the season. So what are you planning on grilling this weekend?

It's hard to believe, but Memorial Day weekend is almost here! Take some time this weekend to honor and remember those service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our continued freedoms. They're the real reason that we live in the greatest country in the world!

Memorial Day weekend is one of, if not the busiest weekends at the lake. Everyone wants to get out of the house and spend some quality time outdoors and hopefully grilling out. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax and enjoy the holiday weekend. Both Lake Lawtonka and Ellsworth will be very popular places to spend Memorial Day weekend this year. If you're planning on a trip to one of Lawton's lakes the City of Lawton has some saftey reminders for you and some general rules you'll need to follow while at the lake. Hard to believe Memorial Day weekend is almost here and unlike last year we'll actually get to go out and enjoy it!

Want to fly Old Glory for the holiday weekend? Here's where to look.

We have all seen the 'poppy pushers' at the retail outlets the Friday before Memorial Day. Very politely asking for your to donate to receive a poppy in remembrance of Memorial Day.

It is a weekend of remembrance, to pay honor to those who have paid the ultimate price in defense of our country and our freedom. And while nearly 40 million Americans will be on the road this weekend, traveling 50 miles or further for the holiday, many more will chose to stay close to home...

Americans across the country celebrate Memorial Day in honor of those who have died while in the military service. Though it's a day of remembrance, it also kicks off the most fun part of the year -- summer! For many, Memorial Day signals the beginning of beach season and barbecues. So let's celebrate America with these fun GIFs!

Memorial Day weekend, which is coming up soon, doesn't offer a a reprieve from the daily grind for many athletes. The NBA and NHL playoffs are still smoking hot, and Major League Baseball is in full swing.
