Memorial Day is set aside to remember and respect those who died while serving our country in the United States armed forces. We'll attend our town's small parade, but mostly, it will be a quiet day at home.

With strawberries just ripening now, I made this red, white, and blue fruit salad to eat with our dinner. Big Sister (age 8) immediately took note of the colors and knew it was to remind of us Memorial Day.
The patriotic fruit salad is made simply of blueberries, bananas, and strawberries. I've made this many times before and have substituted mini-marshmallows for bananas.

Use this patriotic snack for Veteran's Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, and the Olymics.
