Happy Memorial Day from all the elves here at Usinger’s. Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff of summer, and here’s to hoping this one is a little more fun than last year. While you’re enjoying your tasty brats and other grilling delights it’s important to remember that while the last year has been difficult, the reason for the holiday is all the effort and sacrifice of those who came before us. Hats off to those in the military and civilians who made our life possible. Believe it or not Memorial Day is actually older than Usinger’s, having originated back in 1864. It’s been celebrated after the final Sunday in May since 1971. Enjoy this holiday happily and safely, and if you can, have a great Usinger brat or hot dog off the grill and raise a glass of cold brew in remembrance of those who passed before us so that we might celebrate this day.
