Where has the time gone, seems like yesterday we were celebrating Easter and now Memorial Day is almost upon us. OK yes I am fully aware that I am Canadian but that doesnt mean I cannot celebrate along with my American friends right? This Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwich is a quick and easy Memorial Day Dessert.
Memorial Day Celebrations
Interesting fact, Canada does not have an actual Memorial Day, we do have Rememberance Day on Nov 11th and Indigenous Veteran’s Day on Nov 8th. In Canada, Memorial Day is actually commemorated with Canada Day on July 1st each year (in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador), and Remembrance Day on November 11th. Our May celebration is known as Victoria Day, and, is Canada’s unofficial start to summer.
In the US they celebrate Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day, ever wonder what the difference is between the two days? Both days are observances to honor those who have served in the military. Memorial Day, which is in May, particularly honors those who were killed during their service. Veterans Day honors all those who have served.
As part of a Military Family, I really can appreciate the two for two special Days. So for now I will celebrate Memorial Day with my American friends to honour and celebrate those who have served and been lost to us. And then I will celebrate Rememberance Day in November to apprecaite all those who have served.
Memorial Day Celebrations
Ironically while the day is about honouring those who have served and lost their lives, it is rarely a somber occasion. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
Today we are combining the two, prepping some patriotic desserts which are the perfect kick off to summer.
