Memorial Day is just around the corner. What began nearly 150 years ago as a holiday to remember American war dead has evolved into a three-day weekend filled with parades, cemetery observances, auto racing, outdoor grilling, and the unofficial start of summer.
Along with the onset of summer, Memorial Day also marks the beginning of summer driving season. Americans by the millions will take to the road to embark on the annual family vacation.
