"Some 37.87 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home for the holiday, which falls this year on May 26. That would be down 0.9 percent from 38.23 million last year, according to AAA's survey which was conducted on more than 2,000 Americans."

  I will make my annual trip - as I have every year since 67 - to the Vets resting ground to pay my respects to friends long gone.
