After spending this weekend barbecuing and boating and having fun, Monday may be best spent remembering the reason for the holiday. A Memorial Day ceremony will start at 10AM Monday at the Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo, with music by the Foothill High School Band, the Jefferson Pipe Band and Chris McCandless. Rob Burroughs will MC and speakers will include Marine Corps Reserve Corporal Jared McNamara. Memorial Day has its roots in 1868 as a remembrance of Civil War dead. While Veterans Day in November is to honor all military personnel, memorial day is generally reserved for the fallen.
