My 05/25/26 postcard shows three people waiting along Gibson for the Albuquerque Memorial Day parade, gathered in the shade as the morning heat settles in. One woman holds an American flag blanket like a quiet act of remembrance. Memorial Day feels different now; for most, it has become a long weekend, a time for sales, grilling, and the unofficial start of summer. At the same time, small local ceremonies are carried out by veterans, older neighbors, and those with a personal reason to remember.
