Not only is Memorial Day celebrated in May, but several other holidays that honor those in the military as well.

The Kent post of the American legion and the Kent Lions Club placed American flags on the graves of veterans at Standing Rock Cemetery in Kent.

The roads are always busiest in the afternoons and evenings. Transportation data firm INRIX said people planning to return home on Memorial Day itself should try to leave before the busiest hours of 4 p.m.-7 p.m.

Finding the veterans’ gravesites proved challenging, despite maps and names provided by cemetery staff. While Lake View offers magnifying glasses to help volunteers locate markers, Bob Shemory came prepared with his own, as the family searched for veterans’ resting places.

Texas travelers preparing for Memorial Day weekend should anticipate heavy traffic on interstate corridors in the Houston area. The Texas Department of Transportation shared traffic forecasts for several major highways in Texas.

There’s a 30% chance of showers moving in after 11 p.m. Sunday night and a 40% chance of showers Monday morning before 11 a.m. Otherwise, Memorial Day will be partly sunny with a high around 71 degrees. We could see the warmest temperatures of the year so far later in the week. Wednesday is expected to reach 92 degrees.

Weekend will be mostly cloudy and cool in Boston before the temperature goes up towards the end of the weekend.

Memorial Day marks the rise of the 'wellness weekend,' with Americans using time off to optimize energy, sleep, and longevity.
