This article has but one purpose: to gather your photos from your Memorial Day barbecues, parties, shindigs, brouhahas, solemn remembrances, parades and spectacles.

So upload. Upload now to secure your place in the first draft of history or be lost in the sands of eternity.

It's easy, just click the big button that says "upload."

I'll start you off with some pictures of my own. I spent my weekend with family and friends in Washington, DC, taking in the monuments and memorials.
