May 30, 2011 On Memorial Day, we commemorate all the U.S. soldiers who've died while serving our country. With so many of our servicemen and women currently on dangerous overseas assignments, it's also a time to think about their sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their families back home.
In these videos, families of soldiers get the surprise and relief of a lifetime when their loved ones return home from duty unannounced. You'll really want to grab a box of tissues before watching.
While summer doesn't officially start until June 21, Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning to the hottest season at the movies.

From the Louisiana State Police, here's a reminder regarding the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and safety measures to consider when traveling.
The Memorial Day weekend is the "official" start of summer for many of us in Louisiana.

We've compiled a list of recipes and tips that can help you become a master of the open flame.
Check them out after the jump.
Since we can't spend the entire Memorial Day weekend barbecuing (as much fun as that would be), many of us will observe the day by hopping over to the local cinema to take in a blockbuster movie and some free air conditioning, plus popcorn, candy.
